I have returned to a book I got halfway through a couple of months ago: Child Workers in England, 1780-1820 by Katrina Honeyman. It's really very good. She's pretty much the last word on this subject at the moment. It only came out about a year ago and the research is extensive. What I find interesting is that she doesn't shy away from looking at the contribution those youngsters made to the massive industrial growth of that era.
