Great Glasgow Stories by John Burrowes
Glasgow city has been the silent witness to some of the most significant events. This title presents such notable events as the launching of the Queen Mary, the victorious 16-month work-in campaign by the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in the early 1970s, the Ibrox disaster of 1971 and the plague that gripped the Gorbals in 1900.
A collection so thick with West of Scotland pride and charm, it is a disservice to describe it in any other way than Pure Dead Brilliant * Daily Record *
John Burrowes is a journalist and the author of several books, including Great Glasgow Stories, Great Glasgow Stories II, Glasgow: Tales of the City and Irish. It was his research for Benny that gave him the inspiration for his Jamesie's People trilogy, which detailed life in the Gorbals from the 1930s to the '70s.
