Nottingham’s Yvonne Wright has turned to crowdfunder.co.uk
to raise the £1,808 needed to create a biography of Frederick Clements. Frederick Who? You might ask. And that
would be the reason for this book, to revive interest in the talented Nottingham
writer/illustrator of the late 19th Century, and to celebrate his life
and work.
Largely unknown today, Clements wrote and illustrated a two
volume piece of work (he had intended to produce a third volume but never
finished it). His subscribers included high profile local businessmen of the day.
This project is a labour of love for Yvonne who hopes the people
of Nottingham (and beyond) will get to know Clements, a fellow
citizen, albeit one that died almost a hundred years ago.
