Young Alf was a self styled hooligan and Clarence Rook made him the subject of this portrait of the lore and language of teenage gangland in London in the 1890s. Rook made excursions from his safe and respectable world to meet Young Alf at the Elephant and Castle, lambeth Walk, and elsewhere and he describes the seedy locations and incidents he witnesses in a witty & perceptive style.
