Suffolk author Pip Wright has read hundreds of newspapers. Most of them were at least 150 years old. Hidden within their pages he has found an archive of remarkable stories - sad, funny, revealing, informative but always entertaining. With him we can dip into the past and see glimpses of life in times gone by.
The author has selected stories of crime and punishment, foul weather and practical jokes, together with such local colour as the value of livestock (greater than that of the servants, it seems) or the doctor who had to attend a wedding in case the baby arrived during the ceremony!
This book is a new collection of some of the very best from our ‘local rags’ of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Pip Wright is a retired teacher who, with his late wife Joy, has written a number of local history books. Details of these can be found at his website: www.pipwright.com.
