There is something special about Liverpool. From its earliest
beginnings it has always been associated with the ups and downs,
the triumphs and tribulations of the rest of the country, acting
like a mirror to the events that have shaped the country we now
think of as Great Britain. As one of the major ports in the land,
Liverpool has witnessed the comings and goings of people from all
corners of the world who, over the centuries, have constituted the
melting pot of nations which has given rise to what we now think of
as a typical scouser. In The Story of Liverpool the author has
tried not to present the reader with facts and figures, diagrams
and statistics that usually form an integral part of an academic
history, but to concentrate on the story or romance of Liverpool's
evolution over the years. Uppermost in his mind was an attempt to
bring history to life, to give it a plot and characters and to
convey to the reader and idea of what it would have felt like to be
alive at various stages in the city's evolution. The first popular
history of Liverpool for many years, this is a comprehensive and
revealing account of the city's development from it's earliest days
to modern times. Lively, readable and well-illustrated, this is a
tremendous book for locals and visitors alike to enjoy.
