The Girl from Hockley is a new, revised edition bringing together
in one new volume this remarkable story. Born into the industrial
slums of Birmingham in 1903, Kathleen Dayus became a legend in her
own time. She vividly recalls her Edwardian childhood and her life
as a young munitions worker during the war, marriage and life below
the poverty line in the 1920s. Early widowhood and the Depression
forced her to relinquish her children to Dr Barnado's homes until,
eight long years later, she could afford a home for them again. Her
autobiography is a testament to the indomitable spirit, humour and
verve that characterised her life. Her extraordinary memory for the
sights, sounds and smells of her youth, her marvellous sense of the
comic and above all her spirited refusal to do anything but live
life to the full, deservedly made her one of the most compelling
storytellers of our time.
