This fascinating look at the past gives young readers the chance to see moments from Britain’s history captured in photographs. From early morning steam train journeys to the coast, to homemade knitted swimming costumes and fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, this book focuses on the leisure time and holidays enjoyed by families during the first half of the 20th Century. The photos explore topics that include going to dances, elephant rides at London Zoo and hop-picking holidays in the hop gardens of Kent. Many of the topics are “living history” and the author has interviewed people who were born during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s who were delighted to share their Memories of Holidays and Having Fun for the book.
Ruth Owen has written more than 400 children's books. She writes on many subjects but her favourite topics are science and nature to research and make accessible for young readers.
