'...a good bit of spice to give the critlings a flavour, and plenty of treacle to make the mince-meat look rich'Radical Victorian reformer Henry Mayhew walked the streets of London interviewing ordinary flower girls, market traders, piemen and costermongers to create the first ever work of mass social observation, and the ultimate account of urban life - including an extraordinary description of the city from a hot air balloon.Introducing Little Black Classics- 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday.

Short essays about the life some of the working class in the Victorian London. Interesting read although sometimes full with dry details. ( )

If it had been any longer I'd have given up entirely. Unless you are doing serious research into the life of the working class during the Victorian era this can be missed. It is not a fun read, but it could be educational to the right audience. ( )

A very different look at 19th century London and it's poorest people. Very different to what you read in most fiction. Highly recommend to anyone who want to look at that period in history. ( )

One of the short books published by Penguin to mark 80 years in business, this is a few extracts from London Labour and the London Poor and other Mayhew works. Fascinating social history despite the flowery style. I particularly liked the description of a train journey from Waterloo to Clapham, a ride I know well, now passing between tall blocks of new apartments mostly bought by foreign investors. ( )
