SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2025 CRIME WRITERS' ASSOCIATION HISTORICAL DAGGER AWARD!
'Funny, fast-paced and dark... with dialogue that absolutely crackles ELODIE HARPER
'A brave, bold novel' ARAMINTA HALL
IF YOU CANT MAKE THE RULES
1922. Eleanor Mackridge is staring down the barrel of two equally depressing life choices serving the upper classes or finding a husband when she crosses paths with the notorious all-female gang, the Forty Elephants.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL BREAK THEM
These are women who society would rather forget. They are bold and vulgar, they steal diamonds and fur, drink champagne and gin. They give young women ideas above their station and Eleanor wants in. Now she has the chance to make sure that history remembers her.
Because women don't have to marry or serve to get ahead.
They can steal.
In Poor Girls, Clare Whitfield exposes the criminal underbelly of 1920s London but this isn't a morality tale, it's an adventure for the willingly wicked.
'Memorable, outrageous and full of heart. Loved it every time I put it down I couldnt wait to pick it up again. ELENI KYRIACOU
'Wonderfully roguish characters, and great period detail. Really enjoyable.' IAN MOORE
'A richly vivid and picaresque masterwork, Poor Girls is by turns humorous, horrifying and humane.' TOM MEAD
'A compulsive read... A real page turner.' CAITLIN DAVIES

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 may have grown, but our mission has never changed. 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!
