PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

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.
