This book is out now - the third in the Footsteps series. It is available as a paperback or ebook from Amazon. It is also available from me for the reduced price of £11 if you live in the Stoke-on-Trent area. Just notify me on maggiemoxom@aol.com.
The book will be advertised in the Werrington Life winter magazine, coming out soon, and will also be available at Just for Kids in Washerwell Lane, Werrington or the Barewall Art Gallery in Burslem.
The author has very cleverly brought together local history of the period, using the local dialect of the Potteries, and also weaving a story through it. The story draws the reader into the times of the Chartists riots and while reading this book I got a real sense of the hard lives of the characters and of how frightening it must have been at this time for people having to fight for a living wage. I felt that I knew these people as their story unfolded. The author must have done an awesome amount of research on not only the history but the dialect too."
