A.S. Jasper's memoir of growing up in the East End of London before the First World War was acclaimed as a classic when it was described by the Observer as 'Zola without the trimmings.' In this definitive new edition, it is accompanied by the first publication of the sequel detailing the author's life in the cabinet-making trade, The Years After.
Illustrated with line drawings by James Boswell and Joe McLaren.
This is A. S. Jasper’s only book. A Hoxton Childhood & The Years After comprises an authentic testimony of the survival and eventual triumph of a protagonist who retains his sense of decency against the odds. A Hoxton Childhood is a tender memoir of growing up in Hoxton before the First World War, while The Years After details the author’s struggles and successes in the Shoreditch cabinet-making trade.
