A broadly based, extensively researched, personal Family Saga, by the author Shirley Thompson (nee Wareing). Centred on L the Balsall Heath area, but also encompassing Worcester, other areas of the UK, and Ireland, it relates the stories of five families, from the 18th Century to the present day. Full of highs and lows: heart-warming, tragic and frequently dramatic, plus surprising connections! With a Foreword by Comedian, Entertainer and Papal Knight, Don Maclean, this story is presented in the unique format of a musical play. An extensive, highly original collection of photographs and documents accompanies the text. Other contributors include a diverse range of entrepreneurs, family members, internationally acclaimed writer, Helen McCabe and a cross-section of former Balsall Heath Residents... a story not to be missed!
