An Eton Playing Field: A Reminiscence Of Happy Days Spent At The Eton Mission (1896) is a memoir written by E. M. S. Pilkington about his time spent at the Eton Mission, a charitable organization that aimed to improve the lives of the poor in London's East End. Pilkington recalls his experiences as a young man playing sports and engaging in other activities with the boys of the mission, as well as the lessons he learned about social inequality and the importance of giving back to one's community. The book provides a vivid portrait of life in late 19th-century London and offers insights into the work of organizations like the Eton Mission in addressing the challenges faced by the urban poor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
