Enter the world of the 1950's child. From the corner sweet shop to
the playground, to boys pretending to be spitfires and Rin Tin Tin,
frozen jubblies and the Ford Popular. Tony Redding brings back a
flood of memories as he takes us back to 1950's London. This book
will appeal to all those who remember the 50's, especially those
from the south east of London. The lighthearted approach to the
50's should have nationwide appeal, especially with the 60th
anniversary of the Coronation in 2013. Why was growing up in the
1950's so different and special? If you are in your early 60's you
will know the answers. If you remember cream soda, wagon wheels,
snake belts, Rin Tin Tin, Robin Hood and Popeye, this book is for
you. If you were born long after 1960, here is the world of your
parents or grandparents, set out in all its 1950's glory: "six of
chips", Eddie Cochran, The Shadows, smog, bomb sites, a canning at
school, Penny for the guy and British bulldog. Turn the pages and
shift into a time when you could press the 'button B' and get your
money back, whiten your teeth with Pepsodent and listen to adults
criticising the police for failing to lock up enough teddy boys.
Enjoy!
