IA&HS is delighted to support the launch of Caitlin Davies latest book, "The Ghost of Lily Painter" which will be held in Islington Museum at 6pm on Thursday 9 June. Ms Davies spoke to the society about her historical research in April 2010 in the second of two linked lectures on Victorian and Edwardian 'baby farmers', the first of which was given by Joan Lock.

Caitlin is a journalist and author of six books, including Place of Reeds and Friends Like Us. She lives in Holloway.
