The Little Book of Manchester

A fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of places, people and events in Manchester, from its Roman origins to the present day. Learn about the individual communities and how they came together to form the modern city, and meet some of the great men and women, the eccentrics and the scoundrels, of its history. Both a reliable reference book and a quirky guide, whose bite-sized chunks of history can be dipped into time and again to reveal some new facts about the story of Manchester.
