Mr. Bevan's Dream by Sue Townsend
Lamenting the decline in all crucial welfare services during ten years of Thatcher rule, the author warns that this dream may fast becoming a Conservative nightmare. The book is supplemented by statistics that indicate the damage done by the last decade of the Thatcher government. Townsend's anecdotes are a highly personal testimony to the Welfare State and the principles which underlie the concept of "welfare". The author has had a number of plays staged including "Bazaar and Rummage", "The Great Celestial Cow". She also wrote "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 and Three Quarters" and its follow-up "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole" as well as "Rebuilding Coventry".
Sue Townsend is one of Britain's favourite comic authors. Her hugely successful novels include eight Adrian Mole books, The Public Confessions of a Middle-Aged Woman (Aged 553/4), Number Ten, Ghost Children, The Queen and I, Queen Camilla and The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year, all of which are highly-acclaimed bestsellers. Sue passed away in 2014 and is survived by her husband, four children, ten grandchildren and millions of avid readers.
