William Woodruff

William Woodruff (12 September 1916 – 23 September 2008) was a professor of world history and author. His two autobiographical works, ''The Road to Nab End'' and its sequel ''Beyond Nab End'', both became bestsellers in the United Kingdom. The memoirs, covering Woodruff's impoverished upbringing in an English weaving community during the Great Depression, contain significant amounts of social commentary about the conditions in which he lived.
