description: From his birth in the carding-room of a cotton mill until he ran away to London, William Woodruff lived in extreme poverty in the heart of Blackburn's weaving community. The Road to Nab End is the wonderful telling of these childhood years. It is an autobiography brimming with anecdote, and above all, a story of human triumph against the odds.
