Booker (W. J.) Songs of the Toilers and Other Poems
Portsmouth Proctor and Co. 1912 Hard Back Very Good
117pp plus adverts at front and rear, illustrated 11 plates from photographes, includes a letter from the author to W. J. Groves, who sold furniture, there is an advert for his shop in the book. The author states that Groves son should be interested in the lawyers song and it is possible that this was based on him. Certainly Groves solicitors operated in Portsmouth for many years. It would appear that many of his poems are based on characters the author knew though not many are named. The advert for J. Brewer and Son contains a poem by Booker concerning the Brewers and their shop in Marmion Road, Southsea. Last time I visited Marmion Road Brewers was still there selling coffee and tea. 'The Quiet Councillor' I assume isCouncillor J. Pile as there is a photograph of him opposite. There is a poem to the 'Twilfits' girls, from the corset factory, and there is a photograph of them as a concert troupe. Teh photographes of the policeman, milk man, chimney sweep, post man, road sweeper are not names. There are poems written in memory of certain local figures including Canon Wilson of POrtsea, Rev T. Kendall pastor of Milton Congregational Chapel, William Stanley James, Mr. J. E. Raggett. Also reference to Horndean in poems, including Armand Jones the Horndean Milkboy. OF particular interest is 'A Grocer's Apprentice: A True Story", The poem tells of a lady who made a strange order at the grocer shop including 2 bad eggs and a brick, the confused apprentice comes to the conclusion that she is a suffragette.
