    As a recent subscriber to the Gentle Author I couldn’t agree more! As a girl born within the sound of the Bow Bells I will most certainly be hoping to purchase a copy of this gorgeous book. Wishing everyone a super “East End” Knees-up!

    As a longtime reader and of your site, let me also add my congratulations on the publication of your album. Even though I live in Toronto, Canada, my daily visits to your site feel like mini-day trips to East London. A friend of mine is visiting London in January and I will ask that she look for/purchase a copy of the book.

    Once again, Congratulations on the album.
