{"product_id":"recollections-of-victorian-birmingham-stephen-roberts-9781719078887","title":"Recollections of Victorian Birmingham","description":"This book offers readers an absorbing portrait of Birmingham's nineteenth century. It provides eyewitness accounts of the main events and personalities of the time. These twenty-five autobiographical articles were originally published in the Birmingham Gazette and Express in 1907-9, but have been long forgotten. In bringing them back to attention, the editor provides fascinating glimpses into life in Victorian Birmingham. Who knew that the town famous for brass bedsteads, buttons and glass produced a prize-winning strawberry? Or that a leading politician, wounded at being described as the ugliest man in Birmingham, set out to find a man who was even uglier? 'Stephen Roberts is an indefatigable and dedicated researcher of Victorian Birmingham. His knowledge is deep and wide-ranging yet he succeeds in sharing his expertise in an accessible and engaging way through his engrossing books and lively talks.' - Carl Chinn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1719078882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781719078887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Stephen Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436981399807,"sku":"9781719078887","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fec30ef-9799-4e6a-82d0-61c07a43d828.jpg?v=1777159067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recollections-of-victorian-birmingham-stephen-roberts-9781719078887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
