This book, published by Oxford University Press, is a look at street food selling, hawking, in London from Tudor times through to the first world war.
What emerges is a story of a trade spanning hundreds of years that was essential for keeping the ever growing population of the city supplied with nutritious affordable food.
Who were these people? Where did they source their stock? What were their lives like?
It's a fascinating and sometimes surprising story.
