Through the eyes of its inhabitants, Donald Thomas portrays the 19th-century underworld. A world of night houses and cigar divans, of street people and entertainers. This underworld was sheltered by an underclass, united by a hatred of the police. In its rookeries and paddingkens, gin shops and taverns hard by the fashionable West End, thrived thieves and beggars, cheats, forgers and pickpockets, preying on rich and poor alike.
