The Victorians were big on funerals. But did they value life less?

Program Title: Diane Setterfield-Bellman&Black-Bookbits author interview
Description: The author of the best-selling novel, “The Thirteenth Tale,” Diane Setterfield, began writing a novel set around the river Thames. But one of the characters refused to co-operate and eventually she was forced to give him his own novel. The result is “Bellman & Black”. The new book follows the life of a young Victorian man, William Bellman, who grows up to become a successful textile mill owner and eventually to create a funeral emporium in London, a one-stop shopping centre for fashionable bereavement needs. But always almost present is his all but silent partner, Mr. Black.
