Publisher's Synopsis

Low-Life Deeps is a book written by James Greenwood and published in 1876. The book is an account of the strange and fascinating world of the London slums, particularly the area known as the ""Low-Life Deeps."" Greenwood takes the reader on a journey through the dark and dangerous streets of this impoverished area, describing the people, their way of life, and the strange and exotic fish that can be found in the filthy waters of the Thames. Greenwood's writing is vivid and engaging, painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities of life in the slums. He describes the poverty, crime, and disease that are rampant in the area, and the desperate struggle of the people to survive. He also provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the fishermen who ply their trade in the murky waters of the Thames, catching strange and exotic fish that are sold in the markets of London. Overall, Low-Life Deeps is a compelling and eye-opening account of a little-known world, written by a master storyteller. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of London, the social conditions of the Victorian era, or the strange and fascinating creatures that inhabit the depths of the Thames.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
