From its origins as a small Saxon hamlet, to the large sprawling city of the present day, Birmingham has quite the tale to tell – and within the pages of this handy and compact book is where you'll find it.

Stories of how Birmingham developed and of the people who helped develop it. Stories of its industries, how they prospered and made Birmingham famous around the world. Stories of politicians, industrialists and celebrities who were born or lived in Birmingham, and the not-so-famous people who worked tirelessly in its factories and workplaces, who helped make Birmingham the city it is today.

Set out chronologically from prehistoric times to the present day, The Little History of Birmingham is a handy guide to the city through the ages that can be picked up and enjoyed whenever and wherever you want.
