This fascinating look at the past gives young readers the chance to see moments from Britain’s history captured in photographs. From bread and dripping, to using a mangle; from watching TV for the first time during Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, to the ritual of a Sunday bath night – this book focuses on everyday life in the home during the first half of the 20th Century. The photos explore topics that include how some people lived in poverty in tenements, how many families used outside privies with newspaper for toilet roll and how children ate carrots on sticks instead of ice cream during World War II rationing! 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 Life at Home 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.
