The book, priced at £9.99 is published by A J H Publications. Some of the people featured in his book are also briefly mentioned in the Liverpool Notables on the Liverpool Heritage Forum’s web site.
"Michael Kelly’s writing is
driven by love of his native
Liverpool, which reaches back to his ancestral Ireland.
In this collection of short biographies, Michael becomes
the friend of his subjects, rather than a mere researcher.
He writes of them because he is one of them, an Irish
Liverpudlian in the grand old tradition."
