criseliz 10 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 If any of you out there are interested in aspects of 19th century Nottingham, you may like a book I've just written. it's called 'The Story of Brewer Jack & Champagne Charlie' and deals with their lives as 'sporting men' of Old Nottingham. It's interesting and informative. Anybody interested - let me know. Criseliz 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

criseliz 10 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome, Everyone, and encouraging comments. Anyone interested in more details about the book can e-mail at tchibnot@btinternet.com. Most of the story was gleaned from old newspapers (1840-1915-ish) plus some family history. The book is £5 p.p. included, so get in touch if you would like more info. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
criseliz 10 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, in response to your asking where you could get my book 'The story of Brewer Jack & Champagne Charlie', am in the throes of publicising it to the wider Nottingham world. In the meantime, I can supply a copy for £5, to include post & package. You asked what prompted me to write it. Brewer Jack was my husband's gt-gt-grandfather and a bit of a rogue with it, so lots of local interest/family history and a social setting in 19th century Nott'm. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 When you look at things like that, most of us have got interesting tales to tell. It's just being able to tell it in an interesting way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
criseliz 10 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 My book on the sporting life of old Nottingham (Story of Brewer Jack & Champagne Charlie) has been going well. For a fiver you can have it delivered to your door (thank you, Royal Mail) or anyone else's door for that matter. All you need is an interest in old Nottingham and its characters (and the fiver). It would make a good Xmas present for any fan of local history. Let me know via forum or at tchibnot@btinternet.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
