The Little Book of Newcastle by John Sadler

The Little Book of Newcastle by John Sadler

The Little Book of Newcastle is a funny, fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of the sort of frivolous, fantastic or simply strange information which no-one will want to be without. Here we find out about the most unusual crimes and punishments, eccentric inhabitants, famous sons and daughters and literally hundreds of wacky facts (plus some authentically bizarre bits of historic trivia). John Sadler’s new book gathers together a myriad of data on Newcastle. There are lots of factual chapters but also plenty of frivolous details which will amuse and surprise. A reference book and a quirky guide, this can be dipped in to time and time again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage, the secrets and the enduring fascination of the city. A remarkably engaging little book, this is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.

JOHN SADLER is a university lecturer and local historian. He has written over twenty books since leaving the law profession, and as well as being a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, he also appears regularly on regional and national TV as a historical interpreter. He lives in Newcastle.
