Varnished Leaves: a biography
of the Mander family of Wolverhampton, 1750-1950 |
These fragments from the history of the Mander family are edited from sample chapters of Nicholas Mander's new biography, Varnished Leaves, published in 2004.
The book covers the first five Charles Manders in succession, covering the period from 1742 to 1952. It is split up into sections for convenience, as the work in its entirety would take a long time to download.
