Book Description

The story of the Town Below the Ground is one of the most disturbing in the annals of Scottish history. For almost 250 years, Edinburgh was surrounded by a giant defensive wall and, unable to expand its boundaries, it became the most densely populated city in Europe. When buildings could go no higher, people were forced to construct new edifices over the existing structures. An underground slum developed, where subterranean dwellers lived in darkness and abject poverty, ignored by chroniclers of the time. Edinburgh's population eventually came to believe that the city—out of sight and out of mind since its abandonment in the mid-19th century—had never been there at all. This is the first book to fully chronicle Edinburgh's Town Below the Ground—its history and structure, its inhabitants and the lives they led, the story of its rediscovery, the parts that still remain, and the tales that made it legendary.

Fascinating Author, Fascinating Stories.......2001-04-22

I must start by saying that I haven't actually read this book. I did, however, visit Edinburgh a week ago and embark upon a tour of the old city that focused sites of murder and mayhem. On that tour, my guide was Jan-Andrew Henderson. He brought an overlarge group of American teenagers to silent, rapt attention with his description of the old city of Edinburgh inside the Floyden wall. We ended at Greyfriar's churchyard, home to 400 monuments and approximately 800,000 bodies. He was a charismatic and knowledgable story-teller, and if he writes at all in the manner in which he speaks, anything he could put on paper would be worth reading. ~ Interested in History

P.S. On this tour Henderson made no mention of his name or plug for his book. I found out his identity later from my overall holiday tour guide (completely independent from Henderson's tour) who had accompanied my school group for the experience.

A Big Disappointment.......2001-01-11

...those readers who don't come from Edinburgh found the book entertaining, but those who do found it disappointing, and I must add my name to the latter category.

As a lifelong Edinburgh resident I've heard stories of the underground city all my life, and the emergence of this book offered the promise of a full and final explanation of what's really there and what isn't. However, aside from a reasonably interesting general history of old Edinburgh, the book is astonishingly lacking in facts of any kind. It's all conjecture, rumour and myth. At least fifty percent of the book is merely a series of fables and ghost stories with absolutely no descernable facts or evidence to either back them up or dismiss them.

If someone's going to bother writing a book on the underground city, wouldn't you expect them to have something to TELL? Not so Jan-Andrew Henderson. For him the gathering together of a few myths and legends was enough. No solid research, maps, plans or diagrams, descriptions of exactly what remains of the underground city; No reports of excavations, eyewitness accounts; no rummaging through old property plans or title deeds to discover reports of mysterious doorways in lost cellars that seem to lead nowhere. None of this.

If you're really interested in learning about the underground city you'd be better off saving your money, and instead paying a visit to one of Edinburgh's many pubs in the old town, where you'll encounter characters who can tell you much more about it than anything in this book

Fascinating and Chilling!.......2000-12-24

I only gave this book 4 stars because I felt that it was too short and abbreviated. Then again, I'm the type of person who likes rich historical details. The author doesn't bore you with dates or technical details, the story of the origins of Edinburgh's underground city are told with a marvelous gift of oratory, making you feel like you're hearing a story told in front of a fire, a story that grows more and more chilling.

The story is simple, due to overpopulation, numerous underground chambers and vaults were built to accommodate the fast growth of Edinburgh's Old Town. The poorest of the poor lived in these dark cramped vaults and more often than not died there too, having never known anything but poverty and misery. You are told of the kinds of people who lived there: villians and widows, families and loners. You hear of how they lived, from the people too sickly to work to the poor children forced to climb inside chimneys to clean them. Full of misery, disease and hoplessness, it's no wonder the underground city has gained a reputation for being haunted.

Tales of the supernatural happenings are also found in this book, tales of a mischeivious yet harmless ghost who haunts a pub to the frightening stories of tourists and tour guides alike being assaulted by unseen hands and claws.

This book is a good resource on Edinburgh, especially considering how few books there are on Edinburgh only. The photos are nice, and the book contains good, useful information! Definitely worth getting if you're planning a trip to Edinburgh!

Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes - 21st Century.......2007-04-16

When RLS journeyed from Glasgow to California in August, 1879, it took him 23 days (see pages 147-51: Selected Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson). When my husband and I journeyed from California to Edinburgh in 2004, it took us 25 hours. The comparison is interesting. I reflect on movement, time, space, distance - "the present sliding over the depth of the past" (see page 98: Moments of Being). That's what makes the journey interesting.

While much research, reading and preparation are involved in any successful "walking tour", the guide which we depended upon the most on our arrival at our destination was this Insight Guide to Edinburgh. For its size and weight (just under 300 pages) this guide can not be beat, containing clear and detailed information on hotels, restaurants, art museums, public parks and gardens, historic sites and buildings, and general travel tips. It is packed full of great color photographs and detailed maps. We were particularly happy with its complete yet concise coverage of this city's vast history and culture (2nd through 21st century), giving us a good introduction to its people and institutions. In the section entitled "Place", the city is broken down into its various environs: Old Town, 1st New Town, Greater New Town, Tenement Landscape, the Waters of Leith, etc. and ample history and background are provided on the development of these various areas of the City as well as detailed maps and tips on navigation. Some of the more evocative discoveries we made by way of this guide were the Waters of Leith Walkway, St. Bernard's Well, St. Cecilia's Hall (housing an extensive collection of early keyboard instruments - see: The Russell Collection and other early keyboard instruments in Saint Cecilia's Hall, Edinburgh; and page 58: The Edinburgh Visitor Guide) and the city's "Open Doors Day" which takes place during the last weekend in September and opens the doors to many public buildings for free exploration and adventure.

Again, while one source can not possibly provide the traveler with everything he/she may need or want to know about his/her destination, this guide is as complete and handy a source for on-the spot reference as one is likely to find.Edinburgh Picturesque Notes

Don't listen to that other reviewer.......2004-02-12

300 pages doesn't even BEGIN to cover Edinburgh. This is a place with a history that makes that of any US city look like an appendix. Stop moaning; if you don't want to learn about Edinburgh, buy a different book! Try a more general book on Scotland, for instance. What a ridiculous criticism to make. I lived in Edinburgh for a year and this book was superb in fleshing out details about the significance of different parts of the city, and in pointing out places that even many locals didn;t know about. It left me feeling like I could get a job as a tour guide. That's exactly what I want from a guidebook. If you don't, fair enough, but don't criticize the book for not being a good match for you.

Book Description

Home to one of the world's great arts festivals, the capital of Scotland is a city of contrasting moods and atmospheres. Rising from the volcanic ridge that runs from the Castle Rock to Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh is a combination of living history and vibrant modernity. The historic fastness of the Castle presides over the classical sweep of the New Town, the eccentric charm of the Old, the affluent haughtiness of the West End, and the whimsical respectability of the Southside. Gothic, Georgian and Modernist rub shoulders in this eclectic city, while literature, the visual arts, music, and drama have all flourished through the ages.

From the glories of the Royal Mile to the gritty reality of Leith, this book reveals the many faces, past and present, of a great world city.

CITY OF HISTORY: Royal intrigue and murder; Holyrood and the Castle; the building of the New Town; philosophers and bigots; Scottish nationalism and the devolved parliament.

CITY OF LEGEND: Underground Edinburgh; Mary King's Close and other ghostly tales; Greyfriars Bobby and Burke and Hare.

CITY OF LITERATURE: Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson; the poets of the Scottish Renaissance; Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting; J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter.

its a good text, good reading, very easy and fast. not so emotive, not son intense. good effort.

Makes me homesick for Scotland.......2004-07-06

I was born and went to school in Edinburgh, but have been an exile for 30 years, visiting as often as I can. My library on Edinburgh and its history is extensive, yet every chapter of this book gave me new and fascinating details about the city, past and present. The reading style of the book is lively and approachable, with interesting quotations, and I plan to acquire my own copy as soon as this one goes back to the library, so that I can add personal notes.
The information is accurate, as assessed by my visit at Easter, and the illustrations good, if a little sparse. The only addition I would suggest is a map showing how Campbell divided the city into regions, marked with the appropriate chapter numbers.

This book provided a good introduction to the city of Edinburgh, though the part I used the most and found most helpful was the map section in the back. The maps are very detailed and were extrememly useful to me as I navigated the streets of the city.

Great book and major overhaul.......2002-02-08

Not only is this book witty, it covers all the city sights and is very useful. This book is written by a different author from the first edition and the change is phenomenal. This book is definitely recommended - the colourful festivals section is totally cool.

Unfortunately, this books lacks the quality of other LP's........1999-10-13

This guide to Edinburgh unfortunately lacks the quality we're used from Lonely Planet. I couldn't taste any commitment of the author to the subject, it almost looks like that the author wrote the guide during an afternoon visit. Surprisingly, many very interesting features of Edinburgh are not included, like the Botanical Gardens. Many other features are decribed too briefly. When looking for a guide of the town, step into a local bookstore en look for the locally issued handbook of Edinburgh, published bij Mercat Press. It's good souvenir too.

Book Description

Acclaimed as a masterly exposition of the making of the much quoted, photographed, studied and loved townscapes of Georgian Edinburgh, A. J. Youngson's classic book recreates and brings to life one of the most comprehensive, detailed and remarkable urban expansion programs ever undertaken. He describes the vigor of the planning debates, the fundraising schemes, the administrative and legislative infrastructure of planning, the construction of public buildings as poles of attraction for speculative building, and all the hopes, quarrels, victories and civic bankruptcy that went into this great experiment.

Superbly illustrated with over 160 photographs and line drawings, this is an invaluable work of history and a fascinating account of the shaping of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.

Book Description

Jacob Todd is abroad on his own, visiting his grandfather’s grave at the commemoration of the Battle of Arnhem in Amsterdam. There, he meets elderly Geertrui, who tells an extraordinary story of love and betrayal, which completely overturns Jacob’s view of himself and his country, and leads him to question his place in the world. Jacob’s story is paralleled in time by the events of the dramatic day in World War II when retreating troops were sheltered by Geertrui’s family.

Parallel Stories.......2007-06-20

There are two parallel stories in this book--one the present day story of Jacob, and one the story of Geertrui, a girl who was living in Holland during World War II. In journal form, Geertrui tells her own story, how she was a teenager living in a region of Holland that was occupied for a time by German soldiers. The people of her town desperately wanted to be liberated and welcomed the British soldiers who came to liberate them. However, after much fighting, they had to fall back for a time. One soldier, Jacob, was badly injured and unable to retreat with the rest of his men, so he stayed behind and Geertrui, wanting to help, nursed his injuries.

Over the course of his stay with her, Geertrui fell in love with Jacob despite the fact that he had a wife and child at home in England. They had a brief but romantic affair, which Geertrui still treasured as her one true love for her whole life.

The present day Jacob is an English teenager who lives with his grandmother, Sarah. She was the real wife of the Jacob soldier Geertrui fell in love with. She also desperately loved her husband and was grateful to the people who took him in when he was injured in the war. Geertrui has invited her to Holland to observe a ceremony at the cemetary where her husband was buried, but after injuring her hip, Sarah can't go. She sends her grandson Jacob to stay with Geertrui's family and to go to the ceremony. While in Amsterdam, though, Jacob not only learns more than he would have liked to have known about his family history, but also begins to question his own identity.

I liked Jacob's struggle with his identity and the way the gay characters in this book are so matter-of-fact about themselves and their lives. I thought Daan was a great character--very complex and interesting. I liked how he interacted with Jacob and brought him out of his shell.

The style of this book was a little confusing at first, with the story flipping back and forth without any real connection. I also didn't like the long quotes from real soldiers' experiences who had nothing to do with the story being told here. And despite his search, I felt like Jacob's identity was still unresolved at the end of the story.

Postcards From No Man's Land.......2006-03-17

A fifteen year-old English traveler named Jacob Todd travels to Amsterdam to visit his grandmother who is dying of disease. He meets a stranger in an old restaurant; a girl named Ton. In the end of the conversation, Jacob discovers that the girl is actually an older boy. After Jacob is bewildered by this event, he is mugged by a teen in a red cap. Meanwhile, in the late era of World War II in Europe, teenage Geertrui is living in the occupied Dutch city of Oosterbeek, Holland. But on one day, something will change. The Allies are coming! Throughout the streets of Oosterbeek, the Germans are being constantly pursued by the Allied troops, while the streets of Oosterbeek are in chaos. Two English soldiers arrive at the home of Geertrui, and they ask her family if they can use her home as a watch tower, since the Germans are only a couple of miles away. One of these soldiers is called Jacob, and his last name is also Todd. In the present, Jaocb visits his relative, Van Daan Riet, and finally gets to visit his grandmother, Geertrui. In 1945, the Germans have re-occupied Oosterbeek and air raids have caused destruction in the town, and Geertrui's basement becomes a makeshift hospital. One day, though, one of the patients is the original Jacob Todd, who is badly burned. Geertrui must care for him, and while this happens, they fall in love. However, they must leave for the Germans are becoming more ruthless. After he recovers, he suddenly dies of a heart attack. In the present times, Jacob meets a girl named Hille, and they fall in love as well. Jacob also visits his grandmother, Geertrui, again, where she tells him about her life with the original Jacob Todd during the war, and gives him a diary about it. He also gets a pin that was on the coat of his grandfather, the original Jacob Todd. Postcards from No Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers, is a great historcial-fiction novel due to its great action, its suspense, and its great ability to describe an actual event.

Postcards From No Man's Land is a great historical fiction book because of its great detail and action. When the battle for Oosterbeek begins, the battle is uniquely described to the best possible. The battles described could create a picture in any person's head that would make them want to buy and read the book for hours and hours until the enitre novel has been read. Postcards From No Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers, is a great novel to read becasue of this.

Postcard's From No Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers, is also a definite choice to read because of its large amounts of suspense. From the beginning of the novel, there was a great hook that would make the reader wonder what would happen next. Another example is during the march away from the re-captured city of Oosterbeek. Geertrui and Jacob must go to a faraway farm to escape the Germans, just because Jacob is an English soldier. There is a very close call, as one German almost finds Jacob. There is also another part where the war rages on, and at any minute the Germans might destroy Geertrui's house. Suspense like this is child's play compared to the suspense in the rest of the novel, which will keep the reader on the edge of his or her seat.

Postcards From No Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers, is excellent because it accurately and vividly depicts World War II. The whole setting takes place in a city, taken over by the Nazi Germans, that is finally being liberated by the Allies in an attempt to invade the Axis Powers. However, the author does an exceptional job of depicting the harsh and cruel life of war. It also tells the brutal conterattacks conducted by the Nazis in order to gain all of their lost lands. If you are looking for a novel that will take you right into the action of the battles, this book is for you!

Postcards From No Man's Land is a fantastic novel to read because of its thrills, its action and adventure, and most imporatntly because its gives a great description of how brutal a war can be. Even though there were some disturbing moments that are not very appropriate for younger children, it was still an extraordinary book that is about a young girl who tries to survive a war, and a teenage boy who wants to find out about that girl's past. I rate this novel a total of five stars out of five.

"Nothing in Amsterdam is What it Appears to Be".......2005-11-22

Postcards from No Man's Land is a well written novel wrote in the perspective of two characters throughout the story, and how their lives change while living in Amsterdam. The first main character, Jacob Todd, is a seventeen year old American that goes to Amsterdam for a remembrance in honor of his grandfather, and other fallen soldiers of the war fifty-one years earlier. As it turns out, Jacob has a horrible time trying to adapt to the different customs of Amsterdam, and ends up becoming mugged on his first day there. Now he is without his coat, or what they call an anorak, and without any money on a cold rainy day, he has to find a relatives house in the lonely streets of Amsterdam. The second main character, Geertrui, is Jacob Todd's grandmother, and her story is told in her point of view during the war. While the war is ending, things start to happen with her and another Jacob Todd that is kept secret from everyone else. Follow the story as the present Jacob Todd tries to learn about his family's past while in a foreign country that he knows nothing about.
There were many things I liked about this book including the way it was written in the perspective of two characters at two different time periods. I also liked how the book used a variety of vocabulary words, but the only negative about that was that I may have not have known the meaning of the words. The only dislike I had of the book was trying to remember and to follow what was happening to the other characters while reading the chapters because you would be stuck for reading about Geertrui during the war for two chapters, then you would start all over again with two chapters about Jacob Todd in present time.
I can not think of any other books like this one, or any other authors that write like Aidan Chambers does because I think that this book is a one of a kind, kind of book.

Touching.. not everyone could enjoy it though........2005-03-06

I read this book over the course of 2 days where it completly sucked me in.

The story was very complex. The main character, Jacob, discovers that his grandfather had cheated on his pregnant wife (Jacob's grandmother)during WW2 and had a child with her. The grandfather, also named jacob, comes across as a decent person though. No one ever knew this untill Gertruii, the women who had his illegimate child, tells relatives the truth after her husband dies and she is termianlly ill. Both Jacob's grandmother and Gertruii still after all these years mourn the death of his grandfather.

It is a very emotionally complex story. Jacob discovers things about himself and family that to him are surprising and life changing.

I was able to appreciate the story but I didn't overly enjoy it.

Excellent Book.......2005-02-07

I am currently a senior in high school and was recommended this book by my English AP teacher. Postcards From No Man's Land is a wonderfully delightful book. From the first chapter, the reader is captivated by the young, curious, and wise Jacob Todd. I am seventeen, like Jacob, and felt a great connection with Todd. He experiences so many situations that occur everyday in my life. It is comforting to know that an adult author, like Aiden Chambers, can capture these "awkward" moments in one's journey from childhood to adulthood.

Not only does this book allow for perspective from a young man, but also from a young woman, living in the 1940's named Geertrui. I, myself, felt most connected to her. Geertrui, is brought up in a very traditional, structured home, where her life has revolved around the morally accepted ideas of maternal instinct and marriage. She is very inspirational throughout the novel and opens young Jacob's eyes to a whole new part of the picture.

Overall, there are not enough words in the English language for me to describe my appreciation and love for this book. I urge everyone to at least read it once, and then hand it over to their teens to read. It is definitely an eye opening book.

Enjoy!
AroChica05@aol.com

P.S. *Readers* This book does discuss some serious topics, everything from euthanasia, sexuality, to infidelity. I urge you to first read the book, before handing it over to your young adult, as to adequately prepare for possible questions that may result. :o)
