- Synopsis
- "All up!" This loud cry breaks the silence on a quiet London street in 1800. It is the cry of a climbing boy--a very young chimney sweep--as he pokes his head out the top of the chimney. The earliest chimney sweeps date back to the 12th century when chimneys first came into use. This is the story of those sweeps, and the folklore surrounding them. It is also the history of sweeps in Europe and the United States up to the present day. Margot Tomes's illustrations bring life to the chimney sweeps of yesterday, and the photographs included show today's chimney sweeps in action.
