Lara Maiklem: Mudlarking in It's a LondonThing (November 2020)

Rezensionen

I received this fantastic book from my husband as a Hanukkah gift---I love it so much! It definitely earns a rare 5 star rating for being one of the most interesting, engaging, and historically diverse books I've read. I've been following Maiklem on Instagram for at least a year---she's one of my favorite accounts so her book was on the top of my wishlist! It's everything I'd hoped it would be. More than just a book of facts and finds, Maiklem shows her heart in this work. Her love of the hunt outweighs her desire for treasure---as it should be, in my opinion. I love how she finds the simplest oddities to be extra special, yet is careful to leave some behind for other larkers or for the river to reclaim. I'm looking forward to purchasing her book on larking as soon as I can and would love to see more in print from Maiklem asap!

Note: for those disappointed that there are no photos, I do believe the British edition (called Mudlarking) does have photos. But---you can follow Maiklem on Instagram to see photos and videos of her finds! Her account is @london.mudlark

She does a great job of creating a picture of Mudlarking. I love her almost poetic descriptions. There is a lot of history of mudlarking, the things they found and the history behind it all.

I've followed the author's Instagram for ages and was delighted to finally get a chance to read this book, which I've been eagerly awaiting; it did not disappoint (other than that it really made me want to go explore the foreshore, which is tricky).

A beautifully written book, a romance in which the River Thames takes the lead. Wonderfully gentle, recounting the authors finds and adventures searching for treasures in the mud.
