Nostalgic book takes you back to a different age, remembering what life was like for those growing up in the 1930s.
Do you remember collecting birds’ eggs and cigarette cards? Or the first appearances of wrapped sweets like Mars and Milky Way?
The 1930s was a time of great progress, as engines took over from horses, and electric light from gas and oil. In the background, change was everywhere, with the Mallard speed record, the abdication of the King, and the increasing spectre of the impending Second World War. It was a time of home cooking, and day-trip holidays, when families kept chickens and children played with bows and arrows.
This delightfully nostalgic book will take you right back to a different age, recalling what life was like for those growing up in the 1930s.
