Book description
Merseyside has been the birthplace or home to literally hundreds of
extraordinary men and women. In this book Christine Dawe features a
great many of them - from all eras and all walks of life. Modern-day
noteworthy figures, such as Kim Cattrall, Daniel Craig, Wayne Rooney
and Patricia Routledge, rub shoulders with the historical great and
good, including Sir Thomas Beecham, George Stevenson and Sir Alfred
Holt - the founder of the famous Cunard shipping line. This book
contains more than a hundred mini-biographies of Merseyside's famous
sons and daughters - all of whom are illustrated. A perfect souvenir
for visitors to the area, this is also essential reading for
Merseysiders everywhere, and is sure to appeal to those wanting to
know more about these people's contributions to the Merseyside we know today.
Christine Dawe is a writer, actress and erstwhile teacher of
English literature to sixth-form and adult pupils. She has lived in
