Since it first swaggered onto our screens in 2013, stylish period crime saga Peaky Blinders has become a cultural phenomenon. Over the past decade, this underdog drama from Birmingham has defied the odds to build a devoted cult following worldwide - from Small Heath to Hollywood, from catwalks to backstreet barbershops, from streaming services to millionaire mansions.
This book charts the epic Peaky Blinders journey: from its humble beginnings as fireside family folklore for creator Steven Knight, through its word-of-mouth rise to TV's top tier, all the way to its explosive swansong series - and now the story's exciting new afterlife on the stage and cinema screen.
Each chapter will also include short season summaries/episode synopses, and be accompanied by a wealth of photography from the show, making this the ultimate glorious visual celebration.
