Summary

This fantastic collection of true tales celebrates the strange and curious secrets of Merseyside history. The 50 stories inside—from the tight-rope walking lion at the zoo to the 12 young women "smothered by the incurable malady they caught of some sailors," the true tale of "man in the iron coffin," and the strange and sanguineous saga of the Liverpool men who took on Mount Everest—uncover some truly amazing and extraordinary facets of history and heritage. Richly illustrated and compiled by Liverpool’s own historian Ken Pye, it will delight residents and visitors alike.
