| Publisher Description: A Child of the Jago is London-born journalist Arthur Morrison's best known novel. It was first published in November 1896 and is set in a fictional East End slum known as the Jago, which Morrison based a real district called the Old Nichol. The Old Nichol was a rookery of squalid dwellings squeezed into a slice of land between Shoreditch High Street and Bethnal Green Road in London's East End. It was demolished in the mid-1890s and replaced by London's first experiment with council housing, the Boundary Estate. |
