{"product_id":"why-cornelius-stott-changed-his-peter-saunders-9781008966611","title":"Why Cornelius Stott Changed His Name: and other family stories","description":"Peter Saunders meets his family. Agricultural labourers from Essex, Lincolnshire and the Scottish borders; hat-makers, pin-headers, shoemakers and coal miners from Gloucestershire; cotton spinners, weavers and piecers from the slums of industrial Lancashire; illiterate Irish peasants from County Cork; rag-pickers, charwomen, abandoned wives and prostitutes; soldiers who died in the Flanders mud and were never found; soldiers who made it home broken men; children sent to convalescent homes and old people dying in the workhouse. Reading their stories is like reading a potted history of the common people of these islands over the last three hundred years. These are the shadowy people who dug the coal that fuelled the industrial revolution; the people who wove and spun the yarn that clothed the world; the people who planted and harvested the crops that fed the cities; the people who fashioned our modern world. They were the unnamed, unrecorded heroes on whose shoulders we now perch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Saunders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1008966614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781008966611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.66d","brand":"Peter Saunders","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799574065407,"sku":"9781008966611","price":19.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-cornelius-stott-changed-his-peter-saunders-9781008966611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
