Will Crooks was a British Labour Party politician whose concern for the poor and disadvantaged made him a favourite of the people. This is much more than a biography of Crooks’ life. It is a comment on the living and social conditions of the British working class at the turn of the twentieth century. This edition includes a foreword by G K Chesterton.

A fascinating biography of a man who came from the poorest class in 19th century London, who rose up through society and became the first working class Mayor of London.
