註釋'Children of the Dead End' is a harrowing autobiographical account of Patrick MacGill's life growing up in abject poverty in Donegal, leaving school at 10 and home at 12 to work as a "navvy" in Scotland. MacGill's memoir sheds light on the often overlooked lives of itinerant workers of the early 1900s, depicting vividly the harshness of their working conditions and the loss of innocence during a boy's coming of age.
