Childhood in the Liverpool Slums
The idea of childhood is a social construction. The word means different things to different people. To some it means happy memories, to others it is best forgotten. The childhoods identified here are set in the realms of poverty, bad housing, little material benefits and little prospects for the future. This is a description of fortitude, hope and survival against the odds, of those childhoods that took place in the Liverpool slums. The text contains a background history supported by photographic evidence, of childhood in Liverpool’s slum housing. It covers the culture, events and its music during the 1950s and 1960s. These are interspersed with and linked to, personal experiences of the author and some theoretical perspectives on childhood. To those from Liverpool, it is a reminder of how things used to be in an entirely different age and world. To those not from the area it is a window on a unique way of life that came and went. For researchers it is a supply of rich first-hand data and hopefully, for all, a good, interesting read.

Beside a Stranger
Inspired by the stunning visual landscape and sea views from Christabel Lancing’s family cottage in South Devon, Beside a Stranger is her debut poetry collection. It reflects her personal experiences of love and loss; of pain, longing, and joy, exploring some paradoxical aspects of isolation and connection.The poem Beside a Stranger originated from the 9/11 tragedy and its anniversaries—a reminder and insight into the emotions of those who died alongside people they’d never met. It is a spirit-driven memory, mirroring events and narrating, in parallel themes, the love for someone you have never met.This is an emotive, sometimes metaphorical insight into human feelings and reactions. It resonates deeply and is, at times, unable to be read without a catch in the throat.Beside a Stranger takes readers on a journey of emotional and natural description, relating intimately to the individual. Each poem builds upon the next to create a tumultuous, compelling, and restorative narrative.
