Fab and sad drawings. Followed up by the brilliant documentary The London Nobody Knows, narrated by the superb James Mason.[1967]. Then you could see the poor and pathetically unfortunate street dwellers drinking meths for real.

I started work in the Liverpool Street area in 1979 when they were still about, I always wondered what happened to them.

Is there any possibility of getting this back into print ? Of all his numerous books it seems the most elusive (and expensive).

A chilling account made all the more potent in the light of today’s growing homelessness
Thank you

Sad. I was scared of them when I was going home on my own as a child, but nobody ever hurt me. They were all so broken and desperate. Great drawings from Geoffrey Fletcher. Valerie

lovely melancholy testament to a forgotten humanity that served their country during the war and who fell on hard times afters
