The first Asian settlement in the United Kingdom was in Frederick Street, South Shields in the late nineteenth century. These were the Yemeni seamen who crewed the Atlantic convoys to the U.S.A. and the arctic convoys to Murmansk in the Forties. They married the Shields lasses, had families and have vanished into the population.
This is the second book of the adventures of Mary Rhodes and Mickey Miller. Mary escapes from the sweet shop and is out in the world with Mickey; two innocents, treading hand in hand into the early Fifties. The book is a true account of their lives, funny and disturbing. It wrings the odd tear, yet you may gain a certain admiration for the way Mickey sticks to his belief that school should be an open gateway and not a prison. The schools of the Fifties and Sixties reflect the sterile traditions of the Twenties and Thirties.
