The illustrations
The striking illustrations were commissioned for Mersey Minis from artist Clare Curtis, and present her unique visual response to Liverpool. Clare follows a long tradition of British printmakers with her distinctive linocuts, which are imbued with a bold, contemporary feel. Felixstowe-based Clare demonstrates her empathy with the sea with maritime patterns and motifs appearing throughout her work. These specially commissioned icons have been chosen for their multi-layered local references.
Check on the Mersey Minis homepage for news of an exhibition of the illustrations, and for details of how to get your own set of limited edition prints.

A note on the text
The extracts in Mersey Minis are reproduced from original sources, many of which are historic and therefore sometimes using styles and language unfamiliar to modern readers. I have, however, in most cases retained the original spellings, punctuation and sometimes the grammatical mistakes so as not to impede the energy and flow of the writer, and to reflect the uniqueness and idioisyncracy of his or her account. The date given at the start of each extract is the date the writing refers to, and not necessarily when it was written or published.

Hello Arabella
I am very pleased to be among the distinguished list of writers that have been chosen to appear in "Longing." I can't wait to receive a copy of the book. Bravo!
Incidentally I note the Mersey Minis home page at http://www.merseyminis.com/ at present states, that the series is "divided into four volumes, Landing, Living, Loving and Leaving, reflecting Liverpool’s story" -- perhaps the "Longing" volume was devised after you wrote this wording. In any case you will probably want to update that wording.
Wish I could be with you for the launch on August 28. I will be there with you in spirit!
Best regards
Christopher T. George
Well done Jane (Bellis)
As my ex flate mate, uni chum and wonderful friend who brings welsh sparkle and groovy joy to so many - you deserve a bit of recognition and it just goes to show that all of us are valued and can make a positive contribution . You go girl!!
Mucy Love from your friend Lucy (O'Gallagher)
Well said, Lucy - the competition has been a great process, and everyone who came to the launch (most of the writers) was delighted with the book. We enjoyed it all so much we are thinking about doing it again next year.
