I would reply to your comment, but Blogger keeps logging me out. All being well, the book will be ready well before Christmas. I may be biased, but it strikes me as fair. I photographed what caught my interest and what I could focus on between the crowds, so I have lots of photographs of individual covers and nothing that shows the sprawl.

I intend to reprint an unabridged version, but need to formulate a note at the front along the lines of 'this is a complete and unabridged version of Redlich's novel. I'll need to return to the question of 'queer' as the search for 'queer people' (unusual people) takes up much of Five Farthings. Five Farthings shows the grubbiness and charm of city life from theatres to architechture to the quiet corners only locals know. A sudden change in circumstances forces the five members of the Farthing family to move from a quiet corner Five Farthings : A London Story by REDLICH, Monica.

There don't seem to be so many London-set novels for children, even Ballet Shoes or Curtain Up only really mentioned the Underground. It's a wonderful story of 1930s London, pre-war and much of it I suspect obliterated in the Blitz. I reread the novel constantly during this process and am (still) charmed by it. As I'm doing my usual 'complete and unabridged' edition, this means checking that every full stop is where it should be or where it was in the first edition.
