The Jewel of Knightsbridge

The Origins of the Harrods Empire

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Title&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Copyright&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Contents&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Introduction&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 In the Beginning, there was a Draper&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 Out of Essex: The Origin of the Harrod Family&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3 The First Grocery&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 The Move to Kensington&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5 Charles Digby Takes Over&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 Out of the Ashes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;7 Harrods Goes Public&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;8 Retirement&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;9 Charles Digby's Family&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Epilogue&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

“This is historical fiction at its best.”&nbsp;--Book ReporterBased on the true story of a famous trial, this novel is Law and Order: 1800, as Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr investigate the shocking murder of a young woman who everyone—and no one—seemed to know.At the start of a new century, a shocking murder transfixes Manhattan, forcing bitter rivals Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr to work together to save a man from the gallows.&nbsp;Just before Christmas 1799, Elma Sands slips out of her Quaker cousin’s boarding house—and doesn’t come home.&nbsp;Has she eloped?&nbsp;Run away? No one knows—until her body appears in the Manhattan Well.Her family insists they know who killed her.&nbsp;Handbills circulate around the city accusing a carpenter named Levi Weeks of seducing and murdering Elma.&nbsp;But privately, quietly, Levi’s wealthy brother calls in a special favor….Aaron Burr’s legal practice can’t finance both his expensive tastes and his ambition to win the 1800 New York elections.&nbsp;To defend Levi Weeks is a double win: a hefty fee plus a chance to grab headlines.Alexander Hamilton has his own political aspirations; he isn’t going to let Burr monopolize the public’s attention. If Burr is defending Levi Weeks, then Hamilton will too. As the trial and the election draw near, Burr and Hamilton race against time to save a man’s life—and destroy each other.Part murder mystery, part thriller, part true crime, The Girl From Greenwich Street revisits a dark corner of history—with a surprising twist ending that reveals the true story of the woman at the center of the tale.“A real triumph! In Lauren Willig’s brilliant retelling of one of the most famous murder trials in American history, she brings to poignant life its most forgotten figure — the high-spirited young woman whose killing was used by the trial’s lawyers, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, for their own political ends. Willig gives us a masterful portrait of the many perils of being a woman in this country’s earliest years.” — Lynne Olsen, New York Times bestselling author of Empress of the Nile

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2026 WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE'Vivid, poignant, hilarious and tragic: the most rewarding and beautiful novel I've read in ages' BARBARA TRAPIDO'A family saga like no other. Gloriously off-beat, darkly comedic and totally bewitching. A bravura performance' SARAH WINMAN'We shall be forgotten.' he said. 'We shall be lost. They will scrub us away like a set of dirty fingerprints on a plastic kettle.'The crumbling Gothic mansion of Thornwalk, long-term home of the Gilbert family, is being handed over to a chain of luxury 'historic' hotels. Millions will be spent in its restoration. But for every so-called improvement, what will be lost? What value can there possibly be in a threadbare carpet, a tarnished spoon and a thousand empty jam jars?Before the hotel people arrive, with their clipboards and their skips and their bottles of bleach, Maximus, loyal guardian of the Gilberts' legacy, invites us on a final tour of the once-stately home, where each room holds a secret. From the bolt on the blue room door to the tiny dents in the bars at the nursery window ... these are the keys that will unlock the lives of the five fatherless Gilbert children.A frustrated romantic, a stubborn traditionalist, a dreamer, a diva and an explorer: The Infamous Gilberts will be cast adrift on the irresistible tides of the twentieth century, buoyed by love, buffeted by loss, and tangled together in an unputdownable story where the lines between eccentricity and madness, cruelty and love become hilariously, heartbreakingly blurred.'Completely captivating: I absolutely loved it. A compelling, ingenious, mischievous blend of tragedy, comedy and intrigue' NINA STIBBE

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history. The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. <ul> <li>In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events.</li> <li>We travel from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years.</li> <li>Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, and counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry in different historical eras and places.</li></ul> The Rothschilds reveals a truly new story of a very old family, making a great contribution both to history and our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History

A monumental cartographic history of the African slave trade, updated and expanded in a new edition &nbsp; In the first edition of Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, two leading historians explored details of the 350-year history of African slave traffic to the New World. They showed, with nearly 200 original maps, where the captives came from, how long the journeys lasted, how many died on the voyages, and what the ports and destinations were. They also presented details about the trade itself, including the economics. &nbsp; In this groundbreaking revised edition, 25 new maps locate the major language groups involved in the traffic and show the movement of Africans from the interior of the continent to the Americas, as well as from one part of the Americas to another. Accompanying the maps, as in the first edition, are revealing illustrations and contemporary literary selections, including poems, letters, and diary entries. &nbsp; With up-to-date information drawn from the database Slave Voyages (www.slavevoyages.org), with its records of more than 36,000 voyages, the atlas provides the fullest possible picture of the extent and inhumanity of one of the largest forced migrations in history.
