From his birth in 1916 (in the carding-room of a cotton mill) until he r-an away to London, William Woodruff lived in extreme poverty in the heart of Blackburn's weaving community. The Rood to Nab End is the wonderful telling of these childhood years: of his grandmother who lectured on the importance of 'laming', his father, who had 't' stuffing knocked out of him' by the war, and a host of remarkable characters from a, truly sadistic nun to the rector who had an unfortunate meeting with a lion at Skegness Fair. It is an autobiography brimming with anecdote and, above all, a story of human triumph against the odds.
