'...a good bit of spice to give the critlings a flavour, and plenty
of treacle to make the mince-meat look rich' Radical Victorian
reformer Henry Mayhew walked the streets of London interviewing
ordinary flower girls, market traders, piemen and costermongers to
create the first ever work of mass social observation, and the
ultimate account of urban life - including an extraordinary
description of the city from a hot air balloon. Introducing Little
Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black
Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin
Classics, with books from around the world and across many
centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London
to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th
century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical
and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and
inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
Henry Mayhew (1812-1887). Mayhew's London Labour and the London
Poor is available in Penguin Classics.
