Social history comes to life, first hand and vivid, when seen through the eyes of those who experienced and shaped it.
To bring us a taste of the early twentieth century, the author has collated the recollections of a wide variety of our longest-surviving local residents.
The `Bedfordshire's Yesteryears' series contains many privileged glimpses of a way of life that has changed radically. Here is the generation of two World Wars; here are the witnesses to countless technological and sociological transformations.
This volume concentrates on family life and schooldays - hardships and pleasures described by those who endured and enjoyed them.
The range, the copper, the Sabbath, the chamberpot, leeching, camphor, laying out, the Governess, the penny ride, the pupil-teacher, the school log, the cane... just a few of the many evocative words that roll away the decades.
