Do you remember Pathe News? Taking the train to the seaside? The purple stains of iodine on the knees of boys in short trousers? Knitted bathing costumes? Then chances are you were born in or around 1950. To the young people of today, the 1950s seems like another age. But for those born around then, this era of childhood seems like yesterday. From waking up to ice on the inside of the windows to washing in a tin bath by the fire and spoonfuls of cod-liver oil, home life was very different to today. Capturing all aspects of a 1950s childhood - home life, games and hobbies, holidays, music and fashion, and more - author Paul Feeney spins his memories and delightful illustrations into a compendium that will jog priceless memories for all who grew up in post-war Britain. AUTHOR: Paul Feeney is the author of several best-selling nostalgia books. including A 1950s Childhood in Pictures and A 1960s Childhood (The History Press). He has also written the bestselling From Ration Book to Ebook (The History Press), which takes a nostalgic look back over the life and times of the postwar generation. 43 b/w illustrations
