Written by Anne Manning — known to her contemporaries as the Author of 'Mary Powell' — the narrative presents a richly detailed portrait of domestic life, trade, and community in a bygone era, rendered with warmth and quiet wit. Manning illustrates the textures of ordinary Georgian existence with the same gentle, intimate tone that distinguished her earlier works, drawing readers into a world of shopkeepers, neighbors, and the small dramas that animate everyday life. The result is a tale that is both nostalgic and keenly observed, appealing to readers with a taste for carefully researched historical fiction steeped in the atmosphere of old London.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887925965019,"sku":"2026770000697-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/981b7d3a-9d00-46ae-a919-f5d7cc48a4be.png?v=1781749599","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000697-secondhand-the-old-chelsea-bun-house-a-tale-of-the-last-century","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
