A Child of the Jago

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by ARTHUR MORRISON abridged in ten parts by ROY APPS Read by Leonard Fenton
'A square of 250 yards or less, just off Shoreditch High
Street-that was all there was of the Jago. But in that square, the human population swarmed in thousands.'
Dicky Perrott is a child of the Jago, growing up there during the 1870s. He must learn the Jago ways of survival, and become a better street-fighter, pickpocket and cosh-carrier than anyone else. For there is no other way, is there?
