Mayhew aimed simply to report the realities of the poor from a compassionate and practical outlook. This penetrating selection shows how well he succeeded: the underprivileged of London become extraordinarily and often shockingly alive.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
