Books
Raised by his aunt, John Lewis worked as an apprentice to a local draper from the age of 14, slowly earning enough to open his own small shop - and then expand. This brilliant biography captures how Lewis and his brother rose up to change the business world, covering the immense falling out between generations, the passionate advocacy for the concept of partnership and the social and political activity of Oxford Street. This is a history for anyone with an interest in the foundation of the British high street or business from 19th century London to today.
