Ideal for dipping into, the only criticism is a number of annoying typos. That aside, there's plenty to enjoy. Where else are you going to read about the founder of Germany's version of Ann Summers, the leader of the last cavalry charge against the British Army and a miserly millionaire who was mistaken for a tramp and thrown out of his local bank despite owning the building.
If this book appeals then we can also recommend [[Newcomers' Lives: The Story of Immigrants as Told in Obituaries from The Times by Peter Unwin(editor)]].
