A Child of the Jago Annotated

By: Morrison, Arthur

A story of Dick Perrot, born in the Jago; but it is also a intense portrayal of the community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the residents. Only the characters themselves are fictional: Morrison's descriptions of the fearful physical conditions are based directly on what he saw. He invokes up an extremely vivid picture of a world which, even as he wrote, was about to vanish in one of the first of the slum clearance schemes.
