The Apprentices by Leon Garfield

The Apprentices by Leon Garfield

Life in eighteenth-century London was hard and especially so for the city's apprentices. For seven long years they struggled for their livelihoods among the fetid houses and sinister quays of old London. This title follows them round the year, through the dark, cold winter nights to midsummer in the city, The lamplighter, and the pawnbroker.
