It was written in 1906 by an impoverished house painter, Robert Tressell, and within its framework contains a manifesto for socialism. It tells of the appalling working conditions of a group of painters and decorators and their struggle to survive at the most basic level. It is moving, grimly humorous and tragic. It has sold over 6 million copies worldwide since it was published, and has the power to change lives. David Timson has made over 1,000 broadcasts for BBC Radio Drama. For Naxos AudioBooks, he has written The History of the Theatre, directed four Shakespeare plays, and read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon.
