` Passionate, witty, informed, & gloriously opinionated` Jacqueline Wilson`I felt like this was written just for me, & I think everyone will feel this way` Jenny Colgan` Beautiful & moving... It will kickstart a cascade of nostalgia for countless people` Marian Keyes When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up new worlds & cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one. She was whisked away to Narnia
- & Kirrin Island
- & Wonderl&. She ventured down rabbit holes & womble burrows into midnight gardens & chocolate factories. She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy, & played by the tracks with the Railway Children. With Charlotte`s Web she discovered Death & with Judy Blume it was Boys. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library or to spend her pocket money on amassing her own at home. In Bookworm, Lucy revisits her childhood reading with wit, love & gratitude. She relives our best-beloved books, their extraordinary creators, & looks at the thousand subtle ways they shape our lives. She also disinters a few forgotten treasures to inspire the next generation of bookworms & set them on their way. Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life
- prompting endless re-readings, rediscoveries, &, inevitably, fierce debate
- & brilliantly uses them to tell her own story, that of a born, & unrepentant, bookworm.

Set of two loose sheets of inner London (each measuring 91x 70cm) at Approx. 1:10, 000, colour-coding each street according to the relative wealth of its inhabitants in 1889; a fascinating look at what London life was like in this defining era. Between 1886 & 1889 a wealthy London Businessman called Charles Booth & his team of assistants conducted a research on the living & working conditions of London's inhabitants. The project is representative of the Victorian's concern & interest towards the urban society. Booth's survey was thorough & accurate. Based initially on school board officials' reports, the research was then extended to local authorities' appraisals, including reports from teachers, clergy & lay helpers. Particular attention was dedicated to acquiring information on the habits of the poorer sections of society & this meant visiting numerous parts of London street-by-street, often house-by-house. Every house was marked with a seven-point colour grade, from the peachy yellow Upper-Middle & Upper Classes (described as 'wealthy') to the black Lowest Classes (' Vicious
- Semi-Criminal')
- shock or amazement are left to the reader.A 12 page booklet is included detailing the map's history, & life at the time of it's publication.
