The romance of hidden treasure has long been a subject of interest to A. Hyatt Verrill. In a previous book, 'Lost Treasure/' the author tracked down the existing treasures in South and Central America and along the Spanish Maine. In ''Secret Treasure," he gives a fascinating account of the hidden riches of the British Isles, a record which is based upon months of laborious research. As the author explains, in Great Britain there has been ample opportunity and motive for the hiding of possessions in the centuries that have passed and in the waves of warfare of one kind or another that have inundated the small islands. The scope of the story embraces England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and includes accounts of such fabulous treasures as that of the Florencea Galleon whereon was lost the gold of the Armada, the treasure of the Tower of London, which Pepys writes about, and traditional treasures like Dick Wittington's and that of Wallingford Castle. "Secret Treasure" is an exciting adventure into a field which is perpetually romantic. It is told in a delightfully vivid manner. It is Mr. Verrill at his best.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to mudlarking which tells the incredible, forgotten history of London through objects found on the foreshore of the River Thames. Often seen combing the shoreline of the River Thames at low tide, groups of archaeology enthusiasts known as 'mudlarks' continue a tradition that dates back to the eighteenth century. Over the years they have found a vast array of historical artefacts providing glimpses into the city's past. Objects lost or discarded centuries ago – from ancient river offerings such as the Battersea Shield and Waterloo Helmet, to seventeenth-century trade tokens and even medals for bravery – have been discovered in the river. This book explores a fascinating assortment of finds from prehistoric to modern times, which collectively tell the rich and illustrious story of London and its inhabitants - illustrated with and array of photographs taken of the items in situ in the mud and gravel of the Thames estuary, at the same time both gritty and glimmering.
