An English Odyssey: The Pendleburys of Lancashire and London cover

The Pendleburys of Lancashire and London were a remarkable family. Their story is a microcosm of history, from civil war and industry, emigration and urban poverty, from the North to London. They were not wealthy or titled, but the unusual survival and rediscovery of family documents allows us to tell a story through the experiences of nine generations of this one, ordinary working family. This English Odyssey is a fascinating and illuminating sidelight on our country's rich and sometimes troubled past.
