Description
Discover the 1940s with a nostalgic, illustrated collection to bring memories flooding back. Do you remember prefabs? Gas masks and bomb sites? The first ‘latchkey’ kids? Visiting Wembley Stadium for the 1948 Olympics? Or feeding pigeons in the park? A charming collection of black-and-white photographs with captions setting out the history of the decade: from wartime survival to the post-war baby boom. Mixing light-hearted recollections and humorous images with poignant and historic moments from the world of politics, international relations and the economy. Themed chapters explore childhood, school, holidays, fun, popular pastimes, and more.
