Too often history focuses on the tales of kings, or those (often men) who were given the credit for shaping our stories. Yet, what fascinates most are the figures who have passed through the cracks of history, people like:
The fourteen-year-old boy who lived undetected in the chimneys of Buckingham PalaceArchie Lee, the re-inventor of Santa ClausThe women at Playtex who helped put the first man on the moonUnknown war hero Tommy Brown, whose extraordinary bravery helped the code breakers of Bletchley
But it's not just forgotten heroes that you'll meet, this compendium also reveals the curious back stories behind everyday objects - the humble fork, the china cup, the real history of tea, and Queen Victoria's underwear - to name but a few.
The Stuff of History is a thoughtful, entertaining and carefully curated miscellany of fascinating forgotten histories from Antiques Roadshow stalwart, and popular historian with a huge Instagram following, Steven Moore.
