Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century working-class struggles, this classic literature piece employs grim humor and stark realism to explore the lives, opinions, and political views of its characters, particularly their perspectives on Socialism. Edited by Jessie Pope, who received the manuscript posthumously from Tressell's daughter, it offers valuable insights for social historians. The book is part of a republishing effort to make scarce and costly early works accessible in modern editions while preserving the original text and artwork.
