Journalist Deborah Mulhearn has collected an amazing array of writing about Liverpool that range across centuries and genres, thoroughly researched from original sources. From Celia Fiennes and Charles Dickens to Daniel Defoe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Will Self, Paul McCartney and Beryl Bainbridge, the Mersey Minis feature an astounding list of visitors, natives and residents of the city over the past 400 years.

To celebrate Liverpool’s 800 birthday in August we’ll be giving away thousands of copies of Longing, the third book in the series. It’s compiled entirely from new writing, bringing our Liverpool series bang up to date – and we’ve been running a competition to find over the past three months.

Liverpool is perhaps the most written-about British city after London: four Mersey Minis will be published throughout 2007 – Liverpool’s 800th birthday year – compiling established writing about the city, old and new. They’re divided into four volumes, Landing, Living, Loving and Leaving, reflecting Liverpool’s story.
