‘Every page is a delight. Every chapter made vivid by a writer who has poured heart and soul into her book’. Val Hennessy, Daily Mail The East End of London – cockneys, criminals, street markets, pub singalongs, dog racing, jellied eels … it is a place at once appealing and unruly, comforting and incomprehensible. Gilda O’Neill, an East Ender herself shows there is more to this fascinating area than a collection of cliched images. Using oral history and more traditional sources she builds up a powerful image of this community – bringing to us, with wit and honesty, the real story of London’s East End]]>
