William James Linton was a craftsman born in an England ruled by land-owning despots and capitalist money-grubbers - pursuers of individual greed, as opposed to human need. He became active in political affairs, involving himself in the workers' struggle for universal suffrage and a democratic Britain, through his involvement in the Chartist Movement. A prolific writer covering political affairs, novels and memoirs, he also wrote and illustrated children's books. This particular work comprises: - THE FLOWER AND THE STAR, WILLIE'S DREAMS, JACK AND THE BEAN-STALKS, ANOTHER JACK AND THE GIANT-KILLER, GRANDMOTHER'S STORY, and KITTEN'S GROWLINGS. Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, 51 The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WX
