Mitton is a children's educational resource written in the early 20th century. The book provides an insightful exploration of London's various aspects through the eyes of its children, contrasting their lives, experiences, and perceptions across different social classes and neighborhoods. Through discussions centered around notable sites, daily life, and personal stories, it aims to present a comprehensive understanding of London as both a vibrant city and a complex social environment. At the start of the book, the author introduces the reader to the vastness and diversity of London, emphasizing that children's experiences can vary greatly depending on their socioeconomic backgrounds. Mitton paints a picture of children from the affluent areas who enjoy parks and attractions compared to those from the less privileged East End, who endure challenging living conditions. The opening portion includes anecdotes of various children, highlighting their daily routines—whether they are playing in parks, navigating the bustle of the city, or struggling with hardships. The reader gains an immediate sense of the contrasts in children's lives and the urban landscape of London, setting the tone for a deeper exploration of the city's rich tapestry through the eyes of its youngest residents.
