''I was born in a tenement flat in the East End of London in
the year in which Queen Victoria died.'' FOUR MEALS FOR FOURPENCE is
Grace Foakes''s memories of her girlhood in Wapping in the early
1900s. With a child''s uncluttered eye, she describes the small
details - shopping in the market, men waiting for work at the dock
gates, the rituals of washday, the sights, sounds and smells of the
old East End of London. She also describes the fear - of illness,
of unemployment, of the workhouse - that hung over her family and
thousands like them, and her determination that her own children
would never know the kind of poverty she had experienced.
