Tressell's classic socialist piece is read with passion by life-long socialist supporters.
Tressell's political, anarchic, socialist, and a whole host of other descriptions novel is a true cult and peripheral mainstream classic, with many people happily naming it as their 'favourite' book. The story, read by Stephen Twigg MP and Tony Robinson, both political people, follows a group of decorators, who, after years of living impoverished and hard-working lives, set off, with a little encouragement, to confront capitalist ideals and quest for a fairer Britain. A real masterpiece in political rhetoric.
