A Child of the Jago is both thriller and condemnation of social conditions in the East End slums at the turn of the hundred years. Boy hero Dicky Perrott reaches heart filled with humane instinct but his environment ensures his down land. "It had been my fate to encounter a place in Shoreditch where children were given birth to and reared in circumstances which gave them no acceptable chance of living reasonable lives: where they were given birth to fore-damned to a unlawful or semi unlawful career. It had been my experience to learn the means of this place, to know its inhabitants, to talk with them, eat, drink and use them." Arthur Morrison The writer, who rejected the label 'realist', doesn't minimise the assault of the city and A Child of the Jago is an exciting story indeed.
