Call the Midwife: Illustrated Edition by Jennifer Worth Srn Scm
This is a large beautifully illustrated edition of CALL THE MIDWIFE with never-before-seen photographs which bring the real London and real lives to life. Pictures of the docklands, photos of how life was lived at the time, the families, housing, health service, food and of course the nuns and the midwives who brought so many babies into the world will be a beautiful addition to Jennifer Worth's bestselling memoir.
From the moment I opened this beautifully-illustrated hardback, I was enchanted - from the poignant sepia photographs, to the author's engaging, conversational prose.. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a moving and heart-warming memoir * HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY *
