Mr Selfridge: Your Backstage Pass to the True Harry Selfridge Story and Making of the PBS TV Series (British TV Drama & Movie Series) (Volume 7)

Is British period drama, Mr. Selfridge, on your “must-watch” list? Have you ever wondered how much of it is true and how much is fiction?

Mr Selfridge is based upon the life of American maverick Harry G. Selfridge who arrived on England’s green and pleasant lands with a sole mission: To create a store so flamboyant, and to shake up a system so tired and rigid, that everyone would sit up and take notice.

Selfridge turned the store he named after himself into one of London’s most iconic buildings, majestically standing pride of place on Oxford Street. Selfridges was, and still is, the home of opulence, style, fashion, and a mecca for those who love to shop.

But shopping before Selfridges came on the scene was a very different story; stuffy, stifled, and not at all sexy.

It took one man to change all that.

To say he succeeded is an understatement. Harry Selfridge completely changed the face of shopping. He made it fun, he made it acceptable, and he created a pastime that millions of people have since enjoyed the world over.

The ITV series Mr Selfridge takes us behind the scenes of his beloved store and introduces us to this bold, charismatic, and innovative man, sharing his story from rags to riches.

The book Mr Selfridge: Your Backstage Pass to the True Harry Selfridge Story and Making of the PBS TV Series shows us how much of it is true.
