Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. First Thus. Paperback. Child of the Jago. A Novel Set in the London Slums in the 1890s. Introduction by Anita Miller. This novel, first published in 1896, is the story of Dick Perrot, born and bred in this area; but it is also a brilliant portrait of a community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the inhabitants. Only ther characters themselves are fictional: Morrison's description of the fearful physical conditions are based directly on what he saw. He conjures up and extraordinarily vivid picture of a world which, even as he wrote, was about to vanish in one of the first of the slum clearance schemes. 164 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences.
