A fascinating and socially important mid-century autobiography telling the story of Father Joseph Williamson, known for his work in the East End of London, particularly the parishes of Poplar and Stepney. This compelling memoir reflects on poverty, post-war London life and Father Joe’s dedication to helping vulnerable communities in one of the city’s most deprived areas.
The striking turquoise dust jacket and blue cloth boards give this vintage first edition wonderful shelf appeal, while the atmospheric cover artwork captures the mood of 1960s East London beautifully.
An excellent piece for collectors of social history, religious history, London ephemera, autobiographies or vintage books with strong visual character.
