Magpies, Squirrels and Thieves: How the Victorians Collected the World Yallop, Jacqueline During the Victorian age, British collectors were among the most active, passionate and eccentric in the world. Magpies, Squirrels and Thieves tells the stories of some of the nineteenth century's most intriguing collectors following their perilous journeys across the globe in the hunt for rare and beautiful objects. From the eccentric and obsessive to the scholarly and the professional, the book explores the invention and diversity of collections and the ways in which collecting evolved through the nineteenth century. It uses lively individual biographies to explore more general issues about collecting. What is a ‘collection’? What kind of cultural, social and political factors influence the life of a collection? What drives the collector? What is the relationship between the private collector and the public museum? Yallop, J. (2011). Magpies, Squirrels and Thieves: How the Victorians Collected the World.

Kissing Alice Yallop, Jacqueline A literary novel of family, love and loss set against the unfolding of twentieth century English life, Kissing Alice was shortlisted for the 2010 McKitterick Prize and singled out by the judges of the Orange Award for New Writers on account of 'its compelling story and fine prose'. Designed around a central motif of William Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience', it is the dark and disturbing story in which the ties of love and hate, fear and jealousy, innocence and experience, have all become dangerously confused.

Obedience Yallop, Jacqueline A literary novel set during contemporary France and in an occupied village during the Second World War, Obedience tells the story of three old nuns forced to leave the enclosure of their convent.

It was nominated for the Man Booker Prize (2011) and was one of the New Statesman's 'Books of the Year'.
