Ten Years on the Parish - The Autobiography and Letters of George Garrett

George Garrett (1896-1966) was a Merchant Seaman, writer, playwright and radical activist. His autobiographical work Ten Years On The Parish, written in the late 1930s, is published here together with a series of letters between Garrett and New Writing editor John Lehmann, which reveal a unique insight into the relationship between a working-class writer and his editor.
