Published in 1914 The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists detailed crushing poverty, squalor and inequality in the UK. Cut to 2020 Sophie and Scarlett Rickard have re-written, illustrated and re- released the book because sadly today it is as relevant as it was in the early 1900’s.
The author and illustrator join host Ross Ashcroft to explore how the classic book remains so relevant.
