FROM INSIDE THE DUST JACKET: "Early in the present century the Author was appointed Warden of the Maurice Hostel -- named after Frederick Denison Maurice the great theologian and social reformer -- situated in Hoxton, in the EAst End of London. In this very human book she tells the story of her life-work, the almost unbelievable poverty, the bad housing, the dirt, and also the comradeship and sense of humour of the very poor. 'I can say from knowledge," writes Lord Stonham in his Foreword, "that her delightful book is an authentic picture of an area and a people, in whom the great heart of Britain beats stronger and truer than anywhere else in the island.' This is a moving story of a fast-vanishing London, and a life-time spent in social and religious service among people well below the poverty line." Full refund if not satisfied.…
