We Were There....

by Rosemary Rees

Published 11 January 1994
A series of six books, each concentrating on a decade, which present first-hand memories and aim to bring history alive for children. Organized around themes such as home and school life, the series sets out to display the key historical concepts of change and continuity. This pack contains all six titles from 'We were there...the 1930s" to "We were there...the 1980s". Each consists of extracts from interviews with ordinary people talking about aspects of their daily lives. Many of the same people appear in different volumes, and can be followed from children in the 1930s to pensioners in the 1980s.
