Krátky popis
'Moore is wickedly charming - the naughty uncle you want to be sat
beside at the dinner table' - Daily TelegraphToo often history
focuses on the tales of kings, or those (often men) who were given
the credit for shaping our stories. Yet, what fascinates most are
the figures who have passed through the cracks of history, people
like:- The fourteen-year-old boy who lived undetected in the
chimneys of Buckingham Palace- Archie Lee, the re-inventor of Santa
Claus- The women at Playtex who helped put the first man on the
moon- Unknown war hero Tommy Brown, whose extraordinary bravery
helped the code breakers of BletchleyBut it's not just forgotten
heroes that you'll meet, this compendium also reveals the curious
back stories behind everyday objects - the humble fork, the china
cup, the real history of tea, and Queen Victoria's underwear - to
name but a few. The Stuff of History is a thoughtful, entertaining
and carefully curated miscellany of fascinating forgotten histories
from Antiques Roadshow stalwart, and popular historian with a huge
Instagram following, Steven Moore.
