Mary was a natural storyteller and this is a compilation of her heart-warming stories, arranged in chronolgoical order, to tell the tale of life as she witnessed it, through adversity and danger, excitement and fun. The captivating anecdotes, poignant and entertaining, are suffused by the sights, sounds and smells of the East End in the first half of the twentieth century. This is a wonderful evocation of a bygone age and her affectionate memories will entrance anyone who reads them.
