MUDLARKING YEAR: FINDING TREASURE IN EVERY SEASON (PB)

For over two decades, Lara Maiklem has been scouring the banks of the tidal Thames looking for objects, lost or discarded, that tell forgotten stories. Working with unpredictable terrain, she finds solace in aligning with the elements and uncovering treasures ranging from medieval pilgrim badges and Tudor love tokens to Georgian wig curlers and Victorian pottery - ordinary and extraordinary objects that give glimpses of London's past and its inhabitants. An ode to nature, history and the simple art of looking, and a sequel to Mudlarking.
