About this listen

 The second volume of Woodruff's memoirs begins with him arriving in Poplar in the early 1930s. Luckily he gets a job at a steel foundry, and lives with an old couple in Bow. It also covers his winning of a place at Oxford and his part in the war effort.©2008 William Woodruff (P)2014 Audible, Inc. War

An enthralling and complelling listen. About a young 16 year old who abandons the North where there is no work on the off chance he may get a job in a foundry in London and his stuggle to survive poverty and how he manges to educate himself and enter Oxford university. Read extremely well by Sam Kelly. Descriptive language is good. I can thoroughly recommend this audio book.

Having read The Road To Nab End, I really wanted to know more about William. What a wonderful, often tragic, emotional and unabashed honest account he gave. I couldn't put it down.
