Fifty Years in the Fiction Factory is not a biography. Herbert Allingham was born into it. Julia Jones no relation! This book tells a big part of the social history of Britain - how the weekly papers with their serials and stories both reflected and influenced a sector of society. Like modern day soap operas, they were unashamedly formulaic with every episode ending on a cliff-hanger.
Rags to Riches stories were very popular.

- Fifty Years in the Fiction Factory: The Working Life of Herbert Allingham by Julia Jones?
Uneducated boys from homes of unimaginable poverty, with dead-end jobs in factories, women who spent their lives in household drudgery, read them or had them read to them. Julia Jones clearly describes how changing social conditions - divorce, feminism, education etc, changed the content that Herbert Allingham scribbled every week for 50 years until he died.
He was as much a factory or industrial worker as any of those who bought the papers. There was no welfare state.

This seems rather cruel. Cruel too that Allingham, unlike his daughter, never had the chance to see his fiction between the covers of a book. She appears neurotic and wilful and her daughter Margery obviously had a difficult relationship with her. But Em too, was often part of the Fiction Factory - helping Allingham write some of his serials, writing stories of her own.
A strange, possibly unrequited, love affair with a doctor resulted in a complete breakdown. Allingham wrote through it all, producing his 10, words a week whatever calamity was taking place at home.
