Summary
‘Moore is wickedly charming - the naughty uncle you want to be sat beside at the dinner table’ - Daily Telegraph
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 Palace
- Archie Lee, the re-inventor of Santa Claus

Critics Review
Moore is wickedly charming - the naughty uncle you want to be sat beside at the dinner table – Daily TelegraphWith characteristic flair and forensic curiosity, Steven Moore reminds us that history isn’t just dates and dynasties: it’s teacups, train tickets, and the tantalising detritus of daily life. A delightful rummage through our collective past. – William Hanson, author of Just Good MannersAn absolute gem of a book. More hidden treasures than an entire season of Antiques Roadshow – Hugh Bonneville
