Long heralded as a city treasure herself, expert "mudlarker" Lara Maiklem is uniquely trained in the art of seeking. Tirelessly trekking across miles of the Thames' muddy shores, where others only see the detritus of city life, Maiklem unearths evidence of England's captivating, if sometimes murky, history--with some objects dating back to 43 AD, when London was but an outpost of the Roman Empire. From medieval mail worn by warriors on English battlefields to nineteenth-century glass marbles mass-produced for the nation's first soda bottles, Maiklem deduces the historical significance of these artifacts with the quirky enthusiasm and sharp-sightedness of a twenty-first century Sherlock Holmes.… (mer)

I received this fantastic book from my husband as a Hanukkah gift---I love it so much! It definitely earns a rare 5 star rating for being one of the most interesting, engaging, and historically diverse books I've read. I've been following Maiklem on Instagram for at least a year---she's one of my favorite accounts so her book was on the top of my wishlist! It's everything I'd hoped it would be. More than just a book of facts and finds, Maiklem shows her heart in this work. Her love of the hunt outweighs her desire for treasure---as it should be, in my opinion. I love how she finds the simplest oddities to be extra special, yet is careful to leave some behind for other larkers or for the river to reclaim. I'm looking forward to purchasing her book on larking as soon as I can and would love to see more in print from Maiklem asap!

Note: for those disappointed that there are no photos, I do believe the British edition (called Mudlarking) does have photos. But---you can follow Maiklem on Instagram to see photos and videos of her finds! Her account is @london.mudlark ( )

She does a great job of creating a picture of Mudlarking. I love her almost poetic descriptions. There is a lot of history of mudlarking, the things they found and the history behind it all. ( )

I've followed the author's Instagram for ages and was delighted to finally get a chance to read this book, which I've been eagerly awaiting; it did not disappoint (other than that it really made me want to go explore the foreshore, which is tricky). ( )

A beautifully written book, a romance in which the River Thames takes the lead. Wonderfully gentle, recounting the authors finds and adventures searching for treasures in the mud. ( )

An interesting way to share history with today's excavation of the shores along the Thames River. My favorite parts were when the author talked about the origins of some of her more unique finds. ( )

… an old woman with a nut-cracker nose and chin, which almost dipped into the filthy slush into which she peered, and dirty flesh as well as a scrap or two of dirty linen showing through the slashes of her burst gown, over which, for ‘warmth’s sake’, she wore a tippet of ragged sack-cloth … She slinks off to her lair, followed by an imp bearing a rusty crumpled colander, piled with its find. Its sex is indistinguishable. It has long mud-hued hair hanging down in a mat over its shoulders. Through the hair one gets a glimpse of a never-washed little face, whose only sign of intelligence is an occasional glance of wicked knowingness.
