The fictional town of Cranford is closely modeled on Knutsford in Cheshire, which Mrs Gaskell knew well. The book has little in the way of plot and is more a series of episodes in the lives of Mary Smith and her friends, Miss Matty and Miss Deborah, two spinster sisters. The major event in the story is the return to Cranford of their long-lost brother, Peter.
Although Britannica 2006 wins hands-down for sheer bulk of articles, information means nothing if you can’t find and utilize it in a meaningful way.
