Lizzie

As authentically Cockney as Bow Bells, as popular as St Paul''s, Lena Kennedy, creator of the unforgettable MAGGIE and NELLY KELLY, presents to her devoted fans another plucky ''sparrer''.

Tiny, warm-hearted, and totally devoted to her charming rogue of a husband, Lizzie mothers her brood of nephews and nieces through the perils of the war-torn capital. As she struggles to make a home for them in the busy bomb shelters of underground London, she helps launch them on the roller-coaster of life and stands by with help and encouragement.

For Lizzie is a survivor, an irresistible heroine with the unquenchable optimism, the great heart, the indomitable courage that sum up the true spirit of the East End.
