Growing Up in the Thirties by Kathryn Walker
This book features interviews with four to six people from different walks of life - rich, poor, urban and country dwellers - who grew up during the 1930s. Their memories and reflections combined with historical information give a real picture of what life was like as a child during the Depression era: what their home was like; what food they ate and how much it cost; what games they played; where they went to school and how they travelled around. Readers learn about special occasions such as Saturday cinema, village fairs and holidays on the beach. The book is illustrated with photographs supplied by the contributors themselves, supplemented by more general photos, posters and artefacts from those times.
Rebecca Hunter is a former primary school teacher. She has written several educational books for children.
