In the Fifties by Peter Vansittart
The fifties are often dismissed as a featureless interlude, but here the novelist and anthropologist, Peter Vansittart, rediscovers their forgotten yet distinct flavour, recalling the funny and the bizarre, the sad, the momentous and the occasionally atrocious. He also covers public figures.
Peter Vansittart was the author of 29 books including his autobiographical work, Paths from a White Horse. In 1969 he won the Society of Authors Traveling Scholarship, and in 1981 he was one of six recipients of the first Writers' Bursaries awarded by the Arts Council. He was also a recipient of an O.B.E. for services to literature and his mastery of historical fiction.
