      STORIES FROM THE FIVE TOWNS

      STORIES FROM THE FIVE TOWNS

      Bursley, Hanbridge, Knype, Longshaw, Turnhill – these are the Five Towns of Arnold Bennett’s stories, set in the English Midlands in the early 1900s. Today the Five Towns are the city of Stoke-on-Trent, but the place is still famous for its pottery … and for the people in Arnold Bennett’s stories.

      They are not famous or important people. They work in shops and factories; they fall in, and out of, love; they argue and they quarrel. Sometimes they are clever and successful, and sometimes they do very stupid things. Philip has some important news to tell his mother, but he is also going to get a big surprise … Sir Jee hates his portrait, but what can he do about it? It was a present from the people of the Five Towns … At Knype station, Toby Hall suddenly decides to take the train to Turnhill, but why? Then there are John and Robert. They are brothers, they live in the same house, they eat meals together – and neither has said a single word to the other for ten years …
