A guy still rooted in his childhood town in Manchester, England. Manc? Mancunian? Take your pick. I read a lot and write a lot. Post a bit, too.

Why City Jackdaw?

City Jackdaw was a weekly penny magazine that was published in my city between 1875 and 1880. I stumbled across it when I was looking for a name for my blog, and appreciated the synchronicity. A regular feature was Claws of the Week, so I incorporated Claws For The Weekend into my blog. I like connections.
