`As a portrait of life in Blackpool and in a holiday camp of the period, the book is full of detail - and quite a few humorous revelations..' Marcus Dunk, Daily Express `First-hand accounts of the pioneering days of the holiday camp movement in Britain are rare indeed, so it is a delight to have such vivid recollections from one of the founders.' Colin Ward, co-author of `Goodnight Campers! The history of the British holiday camp.
