Book description
This classic piece of working-class literature is both expensive and
hard to find in its first edition. With grim humour and pitiless realism
Tressell reveals the lives and harts of his mates, their opinions of
their betters, their political views, and their attitude toward
Socialism. Edited by Jessie Pope, who was handed the manuscript by a
friend and the daughter of Tressell after her father's death, this book
is a fascinating read for any social historian. Many of the earliest
books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the
original text and artwork.
