Children of the 1950s have much to look back on with fondness:
Muffin the Mule, Andy Pandy, and Dennis the Menace became part of
the family for many, while for others the freedom of the riverbank
or railway platform was a haven away from the watchful eyes of
parents. The postwar welfare state offered free orange juice, milk
and healthcare, and there was lots to do, whether football in the
street, a double bill at the cinema, a game of Ludo or a spot of
roller-skating. But there were also hardships: wartime rationing
persisted into the '50s, a trip to the dentist was a painful
ordeal, and at school discipline was harsh and the Eleven-Plus exam
was a formidable milestone. Janet Shepherd and John Shepherd
examine what it was like to grow up part of the Baby Boomer
generation, showing what life was like at home and at school and
introducing a new phenomenon - the teenager.
