Topsy Turvey

Topsy Turvey or Strange Sights to See is a lighthearted guide to the strange and unusual attractions of Victorian England. Written by Ellen Creathorne Clayton and first published in 1877, the book takes readers on a grand tour of the country's most bizarre sights, from haunted houses to natural oddities. Clayton's witty and engaging prose makes for a charming read, and her descriptions of the sights she encounters are both vivid and evocative.
