If a Victorian couldn't afford a sweep, they might drop a goose down their chimney to clean it!
A nobby lady's unmentionables could weigh up to 40lbs!
Parliament had to be suspended during the Great Stink of 1858!

From the wretches of the rookeries to the fancy coves at Buckingham Palace, Dodger will show you every dirty inch of London.

Warning: Includes 'orrible murders, naughty ladies and plenty of geezers!

About the Author

Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

This fascinating guide to Victorian London is crammed with facts and figures, gossip and slang, and all presented in authentic typefaces and illustrated with original etchings. A sheer delight! * The Good Book Guide *
A very interesting and informative book. * Guardian Children's Review Team *
Dodger's Guide to London is clearly one for the young enquiring mind, who wishes to know more about the real Victorian London, as well as a little of Pratchett's fictional one . . . the reader is almost guaranteed to come away with something they didn't know before. * sffworld.com *
Dodger's Guide to London would be a delightful introduction for young readers with an interest in history, as Dodger would be an ideal first step into Pratchett's world. For long time fans and older readers, this is a gorgeous addition to an already fantastic collection. * Geek Planet *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
