Norman Hewston: A History of Moseley Village : Volume One
Description
Situated two and a half miles from the sprawl of Birmingham City, it might seem strange today to think of Moseley as the possession of royal favourites and the country retreat of entrepreneurs and the upper middle class alike; yet it was. In this first volume, A History of Moseley Village, Norman Hewston has used an eclectic variety of sources including old maps, land documents, newspaper archives, photographic records, to trace its origins from the Saxon folk who established the first hamlet here right down into the present day. Here is charted Moseley's long history of resistance to change and interference from the outside, seeking to protect and retain its own heritage and identity. Nevertheless, changes have inevitably encroached upon 'The Village' as it is still often affectionately referred to by locals and these are well documented in the wealth of pictures and illustrations throughout this book. In many ways, Moseley Village has always turned within its own orbit, quite independent from the outside world. This is due at least in part to its diverse mix and the eccentric element of its population, which has long earned the suburb the reputation of Birmingham's Bohemia. It is no mere coincidence that given the concentration of cultural interest and creativity fostered in the area, that much of the city's artistic talent has, at some time or other trodden the streets of Moseley village. Here the reader has the opportunity to unravel Moseley's past and anticipate its future.
Before the Malazan Empire, there was a time that set the stage for all those tales yet to be told ...The winter is bitter. Civil war threatens Kurald Galain for the warrior Urusander's army has begun its march on the city of Kharkanas. Led by the ruthless Hunn Raal, it intends to cast aside Mother Dark's consort, Draconus, and set Urusander himself on the throne beside the Living Goddess. Those who would stand in the way of the rebels lie scattered and weakened - leaderless since Anomander went in search of an estranged brother. In his A History of Moseley Village : Volume One pdf stead, Silchas Ruin resolves to gather the Houseblades of the Highborn families to him, and to resurrect the legendary Hust Legion, but time is not on his side. Far to the west, an unlikely army musters. It seeks an enemy without form, in a place none can find. And yet Hood's call has been heard and the long-abandoned city of Omtose Phellack is now home to a rabble of new arrivals: Dog-Runners from the south, Jheck warriors, and blue-skinned strangers from across the Western Sea have come to offer Hood their swords. From the distant mountains and isolated valleys of the North, Thel Akai arrive to pledge themselves in this seemingly impossible war.
