Item description
Corpses in the street! The Black Death decimates Bristol.
A stomach full of arsenic! Poisoned puddings and merry murderers.
Take that you brute! Suffragettes attack Winston Churchill. Bombs drop on Bristol! Blackouts and the Blitz.
Bristol has one of the bloodiest histories on record. One of Britains key ports, it suffered devastating attacks from every possible invader, from Saxon fleets all the way through to the Nazi bombers of the Second World War. Meanwhile, adventurers, smugglers and pirates sailed from its docks, and more than half a million souls sailed in chains, victims of Bristols vile slave trade ended only by the Herculean efforts of the abolitionists Bristol folk amongst them.
Containing hundreds of years of history and amazing true stories of eccentric residents such as con-woman Princess Caraboo, who ended her days as a Bristol leech-seller, no Bristol bookshelf is complete without this book.

About us
In 2002, World of Books was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet, and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less.
Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash.
Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time.
A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!Our Sustainable Work

We're a circular economy, for-profit company that protects the planet and supports charities by helping people reuse books, DVDs, CDs, games and more! That's why we've been awarded B Corp status - meaning we're a business that meets the highest standard of social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose. In short, we care about people and the planet!
