Book; Born in 1952? What else happened? - Ron Williams

$25.99 

This product is currently sold out.

This is  a series of books about life in Australia – one for each year from 1939. They describe happenings that affected people, real people. The whole series, to coin a modern phrase, is designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten.

The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered.

In 1952, Bob (Menzies) was not your uncle. Women smokers were keeping the home fires burning. Sid Barnes jumped a turnstyle and suited himself. US and China were still happily killing each other, and millions of Koreans were collateral damage. Some horses were entering a grey area. Women voted to do jury duty at their convenience.

Year of birth books

I have purchase these year books, to put aside as Christmas gifts, for family members. I also have one more in transit.
They are very well set out & made of superior products.....full of information on years of birth.
I'm certain our family members will love them....so difficult to buy something different for gifts, as we age! 😀
