A sneak preview of the FABULOUS book.

Local historian Janet Spavold review of the book.
“As a historian, I found this compilation fascinating. It is not just the gossipy interest of hearing people’s life stories in their own words, but the way it gives insight into everyday life in South Derbyshire, with the little details that make things come alive. It is the sort of book that will give future residents an idea of how life was really lived. Careful editing has ensured that each story reads well, but the individual voices have not been blandly edited out.”

The book is available from the outlets below, cost £5 per copy. Sales help to fund the continuation of the project.
