Her book and audiobook The Bookshop, the Draper, the Candlestick Maker is a fascinating social history of the British high street, exploring how the shops that once lined every town tell the story of changing tastes, technologies and ways of life. Gray's writing is engaging, richly detailed and full of surprising stories, and the audiobook is a delightful listen for history and culture enthusiasts.
