 If you are a bookseller, educator, media professional, reviewer or librarian, you can request two exciting upcoming titles on NetGalley: The Antiques Magpie by Marc Allum & The Burglar Caught by a Skeleton by Jeremy Clay.

From the mythical artefacts of the ancient world to prized 80s pop memorabilia – and the dedicated collectors who revere these objects – The Antiques Magpie brings together a treasure trove of stories, anecdotes and facts from the wonderful world of antiques.

From the newspaper archives of the British Library, Jeremy Clay has unearthed the long-lost stories that enthralled and appalled Victorian Britain. Within these pages are the riotous farces and tragedies of nineteenth-century life, a time when life was hard, pleasures short-lived, and gloating over other people’s misfortune a thoroughly acceptable form of entertainment. Deliciously dreadful and deliriously funny, The Burglar Caught by a Skeleton will have you, one way or another, in tears…
