Latimer's Rambles
Podrobnosti o e‑knize
These stories can be found in the Public Domain where, for the majority of the time, they lie dormant and forgotten.
In republishing these forgotten children’s stories, we hope that we will be creating a lasting legacy for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, so that, unlike these stories, the memory of the victims will never fade into obscurity.
The title of the book, while not quite a portmanteau, has been developed by blending the name of Grenfell Tower’s local tube station, Latimer Road, and word-morphing the name of an adjacent street, Bramley Road, into Rambles.
I hope you will enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed compiling this special book.
