A great book,evocative of the times for alot of people.Although I certainly didn't have to suffer a tin bath there were still many who did & the photos brought back many memories.The children of today need to see this in the vain hope it will make them appreciate just how much they have compared to their grandparents.

This book is a lighthearted reminisce of what it was like to be a child in the 50’s. I really enjoyed the book even though I was born in the 90’s! The book is not too taxing and is written in a fun and simple style. I bought this book for a family member who grew up in the 50’s and I’m sure it will bring a smile to their face!
