Gilda O\'Neill\'s The East End traces the East End of London - cockneys, criminals, street markets, pub singalongs, dog racing, jellied eels. London\'s East End it is a place at once appealing and unruly, comforting and incomprehensible. Gilda O\'Neill, an East Ender herself shows there is more to this fascinating area than a collection of cliched images. Using oral history and more traditional sources she builds up a powerful image of this community - bringing to us, with wit and honesty, the real story of London\'s East End.\'Every page is a delight. Every chapter made vivid by a writer who has poured heart and soul into her book\' Daily Mail \'A rich tapestry... a finely detailed examination of our not so distant past. Her book is as much a piece of history as the accounts it contains\' Time OutGilda O\'Neill was born and brought up in the East End.
