Great stories about the lost world of London’s East End in the 50s, before the slum clearances, when community was all-important and no one locked their doors. Jennifer Worth, attached to an order of nuns, was the midwife.

 

This is a tie-in edition for the major BBC TV series that runs for 6 weeks from Sunday 15 January 2012.  CALL THE MIDWIFE, starring Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris and Miranda Hart. The drama vividly recreates Worth's evocative memoir of working as a midwife in the East End of London in the 1950s.

 

Her Call the Midwife trilogy comprises Call the Midwife, first published by Orion  in 2007, as well as Shadow of the Workhouse and Farewell to the East End. The books were based on Worth's experiences as a midwife in London's East End in the 1950s, and have sold almost a million copies in the UK alone.  To view them all click here.
