This is an incredibly well researched and detailed overview of the history of the St Ives branch line. There is an exceptionally in-depth summary of how the branch came into being, some of the obstacles it faced along the way and some thoughts about its future. The photographs are so clear and vivid, and it is amazing to see how the landscape has changed over the years (and actually which parts have stayed untouched). This is an area of the country that I know very well, but I learnt a great deal about the history of the branch.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Pioneering Women’s Education by Sally Waller expertly told the story of how one woman energized women’s education not only in England, but in many other countries. The chapters in this book provide an increased appreciation of the availability of education to women today. I have a feeling, if Dorothea were still alive, she would fight for educational reform for women on a global scale.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Written by a descendant of Charles Dickens, his Great Great granddaughter Lucinda Hawksley, Dickens and Travels gives us a unique glimpse not only of his travels, but how Dickens helped to shape the modern age of travel writing.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Jenny Main has written a book that perfectly combines the career of an intrepid worker on behalf of nurses, and in many ways the medical profession, and an impressive social history of the period. I enjoyed the combination, making this a book that I shall enthusiastically read again.
NetGalley, Robin Joyce
