Items related to Ragged Schooling: Growing Up in the Classic Slum
With great humour and vitality, Robert Roberts evokes his Edwardian childhood in the vivid portrait of a vanished community.

Sharing lively games along the railways lines and canal banks, their lives were rich in experience and comradeship.
