7 best short stories by Thomas Burke
Thomas Burke's writing blends several styles to create a dramatic portrait of London. Limehouse Nights and its various sequels classified Burke as a "purveyor of melodramatic stories of lust and murder among London's lower classes". Both his essays and fiction, focusing particularly on Limehouse Nights, are characterised, seemingly paradoxically, with harsh realities and more romanticised, poetic outlooks. This selection chosen by the critic August Nemocontains the following stories: - The Chink and the Child - The Father of Yoto - Gracie Goodnight - The Paw - The Cue - Beryl, the Croucher and the Rest of England - The Sign of the Lamp
London in my Time
London in My Time by Thomas Burke begins with a great party celebrating the queen in England. Burke reflects on various people, shops, war, and entertainment in England. Excerpt: "Diamond Jubilee. . . . Sixty Years a Queen. . . . The Longest Reign. . . . The roofs and windows of London are rippling with red-white-and-blue; even the poorest dwelling shows its three-hap'ny flag. Every street-organ is playing and every boy whistling, Leslie Stuart's Soldiers of the Queen."

He was born in Eltham, London (back then still part of Kent).Thomas Burke was born Sydney Thomas Burke on 29 November 1886 in Clapham, a southern suburb of London that by the turn of the century had fallen out of favour with the middle-classes.Burke's father died when he was barely a few months old and he was eventually sent to live with his uncle in Poplar. At the age of ten he was removed to a home for middle class boys who were "[r]espectably descended but without adequate means to their support." When Burke turned sixteen he started working as an office boy, a job that he deeply detested. In 1901, he published his first professional written work entitled "The Bellamy Diamonds" in the magazine Spare Moments. He also edited some anthologies of children's poetry that were published in 1910-1913.
Thomas Burke - Limehouse Nights
Thomas Burke was born Sydney Thomas Burke on November 29th, 1886 in Eltham, London (at the time it was part of Kent). An author in the early years of the century who brought his skills of pen and eye to parts of London, specifically the Limehouse district of the East End and wrote with drive and vigour about the characters he met and the places that he knew. Whether he turned that material into fiction or non-fiction he words seep quality. His work ranged from these wonderful vignettes of down at heel London to writings on homosexuality and the English Countryside. Now sadly neglected we hope that the reprinting of his earlier works might once again give him the prominence and respect his talents deserve. Thomas Burke died in the Homeopathic Hospital in Queens Square, Bloomsbury on 22 September 1945.
