Excerpt from The Hole in the WallMY grandfather was a publican - and a sinner, as you will see. His public-house was the Hole in the Wall, on the river's edge at Wapping, and his sins - all of them that I know of - are recorded in these pages. He was a widower of some small substance, and the Hole in the Wall was not the sum of his resources, for he owned a little wharf on the river Lea. I called him Grandfather Nat, not to distinguish him among a multi tude Of grandfathers - for indeed I never knew another of my own - but because Of affectionate habit, a habit perhaps born of the fact that Nathaniel Kemp was also my father's name. My own is Stephen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
