London River
"London River," written by H. M. Tomlinson, is an enthralling literary work that serves as a painful tribute to the historical city of London and its close connection to the River Thames. This edition of "London River" is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset copy. As the title character is so indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading to find out what happens next. Personal opinions, historical knowledge, and symbolic descriptions are skillfully interwoven to create a vivid portrayal of the river that has defined the heart of the city for generations. Tomlinson's narrative ability shows through as he navigates the Thames' cultural and historic...

Gallions Reach
Gallions Reach is the story of an East End shipping clerk, Jim Colet, who, in a moment of rebellion against the tyranny of dull work and a bullying employer, causes his boss's death with an unlucky blow. He escapes to sea, without any clear intention of doing so, and becomes purser on the Altair, a steamer making her way across the Indian Ocean. The Altair goes down in a tropical storm; the crew are rescued by a liner, and Colet meets a prospector who takes him on an expedition into the depths of the Malay jungle. H. M. Tomlinson subtitled his novel 'A romance', and it is in a sense a romantic version of his own life; but what makes it a classic is his marvellous power of description, and his extraordinary command of what J. B. Priestley called 'a magnificent and idiomatic prose style, as individual as a voice. Tomlinson is one of the very small company of writers who have created classics out of their travels. Gallions Reach was first published in 1927.

All Our Yesterdays
1930. Tomlinson was a shipping clerk, a journalist, a war correspondent, a newspaper editor, and a travel writer and novelist. His subject matter is often natural history or the foolishness of mortals. His accounts of the sea, travel, and the Great War have not been surpassed. His antiwar novel, All Our Yesterdays, begins: The traffic of Dockland, where my omnibus stopped, loosened into a broadway. There the vans and lorries, released from the congestion of narrow streets, opened out and made speed in an uproar of iron-shod wheels and hooves on granite blocks. I could hear progress. It was on its way. It was pouring about in a triumphant muddle of noise too loud to be doubted. There was no need to repose on faith in the favored evolution of man. That wonderful conjuration of good things out of this planet by the steam-engine and the cotton-jenny was dominant.

Waiting for Daylight
THE TWILIGHT OF THE WAR Waiting for Daylight. By H. M. Tomlinson. I met a man not long ago, an old acquaintance who had prospered and grown fat during four and a-half years of hell for some of us who lived through it. I was idly turning the pages of a book-one of many thousands - about the war; which one I cannot recall, nor does it matter. He looked over my shoulder, and in that hearty, breezy manner of his which he did not acquire in His Majesty's Navy, said, "Can't understand why publishers keep on issuing these things. Want to forget all that, don't we?" There are moments when the desire to hit a man on the jaw with bare knuckles is well-nigh overpowering. . . Waiting for Daylight is a w...
