Reading Detectives by Kerry Renshaw

Reading Detectives by Kerry Renshaw

Which King died from eating too many fish and was buried in Reading? When did Reading last experience a fatal whirlwind? And where might you find Queen Victoria’s finger? The answers to these and many other questions are waiting to be discovered and the clues are all around, on buildings, statues and street signs. Follow our walking trails (four different routes) to find out for yourself who lived in and visited Reading and what they got up to. Use the extra information we’ve provided with the answers to reconstruct the past and uncover Reading’s hidden history.

Kerry Renshaw grew up in London and studied history at Oxford. He has taught history for many years at different levels, in England and abroad. The idea for this book comes from his fond memories of the News Chronicle I-Spy series, especially "I-spy the sights of London", which showed him as a child how much hidden history is to be found on the streets of our towns and cities.
