Such a great gift
This is for my brother in law - sadly not in good health he does a great deal of reading & this little book will entertain him for hours
I'm sure he will find it fascinating to re live his childhood through the pages of the book
It is packed with information long forgotten that can be conjured up in your memory if you lived through these years

Evocative but rather neglects certain parts of the country.
We all suffered.
