Click to zoom
Selling Sparrows by Judy Wright is a thoughtful exploration of everyday life and commerce in past centuries, told through the lens of small trades and overlooked details. Wright’s meticulous research uncovers how seemingly ordinary transactions, like the selling of sparrows, reflect wider social, economic, and cultural histories. With a keen eye for archival sources and a gift for storytelling, she brings to light the rhythms of local markets, the resilience of communities, and the human stories hidden in parish records and forgotten accounts. For genealogists, local historians, and collectors, this book offers both practical insight into historical research and a richly evocative narrative that connects us to the lived experiences of our ancestors. A distinctive addition to any family history or social history library.
