Our Fellow Men

Our Fellow Men (1936) by H.V. Morton – Methuen
Sold by Crappy Old Books

Step into the streets, parlours, pubs, and peculiar corners of 1930s Britain with H.V. Morton’s Our Fellow Men—a character-rich collection of essays that capture the everyday lives of the people who made the country tick. With Morton’s signature warmth, wit, and journalistic curiosity, this book introduces us to the ordinary and the odd, the noble and the nonsensical, from taxi drivers to toffs, from war veterans to wandering preachers.

Published by Methuen in 1936, this charming period piece is more than just a snapshot—it’s a time machine in tatty boards. Our copy comes with all the delightful hallmarks of a life well-shelved: a scuffed spine, yellowing pages, and the faint smell of yesterday’s pipe smoke.

Perfect for fans of vintage travel writing, social history, or anyone who prefers their Britain sepia-toned and a bit frayed at the edges.

Another forgotten gem, rescued from obscurity by Crappy Old Books—because some stories are too human to be left behind.

Slightly slanted spine, but solid binding and everything sound.
