Hurdy Gurdy Days
This book is based on the story of two little girls growing up in Coventry at the beginning of the twentieth century. They lived in poverty in one of the court dwellings in Much Park Street that were a feature of the city at the time. It is full of humour and tragedy and draws a wonderfully atmospheric picture of this period of Coventry’s history.
Read about the drunkenness and cruelty experienced in some families and the way it affected daily life. Experience what it was like to dread the workhouse so much that you would rather suffer pain and cold rather than be taken there. See how one family coped with the degradation of poverty and still managed to be cheerful.
