From the impoverished back streets of Victorian Oldham, Joseph Wragg looks up at a towering chimney and begins to dream…

Fearless, talented and charming, Joseph rapidly scales the heights to become not only the country’s most famous steeplejack but also a darling of the London social scene. Feted by the London aristocracy, courted by celebrities such as Oscar Wilde, his ambition knows no bounds. But a fateful meeting with actress Lillie Langtry tempts him away from his family and his roots – and ultimately leads to his downfall.

Loosely based on a true story, The Champagne Steeplejack is a breathtaking story of one man’s rise to astonishing success in the industrial north-west and his painful descent to reality…

Sheila Dibnah is the author of the best-selling memoir A Cast-Iron Will. The Champagne Steeplejack is her first novel.

    “loosely based on a true story” is a statement very loose indeed!

    Thank you James for taking the time to comment on the book – we hope you still enjoyed the story. We decided to mention the fact that it was ‘loosely based on a true story’ to counter the feedback from readers who would be quick to point out that it was loosely based on a true story and we hadn’t mentioned it! You can’t win them all.
