Everyone knows about Britain in the 1950s, a stuffy old place where
there was only one television channel, where 'Uncle Mac' played
records on the wireless for children every Saturday morning, where
most people really did go to church on Sunday. Growing up in a
small Cheshire village during this monochrome decade, Ken
Blakemore's experiences were rather more surreal. His recreation of
these days reveals the alarmingly eccentric characters that peopled
his world, and the peculiar goings-on that enlivened everyday life.
In what is more a biography of a decade than an autobiography, the
author's life is just a background narrative thread running through
the book, while each chapter focuses on a theme - school, food,
radio and TV, and transport, for example. Sunnyside Down paints a
gently humorous picture of growing up in the 1950s that will appeal
to anyone who was there, and also to a younger audience.
