King's Cross kid : a London childhood between the wars

Gregg, Victor, 1919-2013
Books, Manuscripts
Victor Gregg has had a rich and fascinating life. 'King's Cross Kid' follows his London childhood from the age of five, when life was so hard that the Salvation Army arranged for young Vic to be taken to the Shaftesbury Home for Destitute Children. Home again a year later, the scallywag years of late childhood began. Then, after the years of street gangs and run-ins with the law, Vic leaves school at 14 and his real adventures start, and with them a working-class apprenticeship in survival.
