Book; Born in 1954? 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 1954, Queen Elizabeth II was sent here victorious, Petrov was our very own spy – what a thrill. Boys were being sentenced to life. Johnny Ray cried all the way to the bank. Church halls were being used for dirty dancing. Open the pubs after six? Were they ever shut? A-bombs had scardies scared.

Disappointed

Size of book was smaller than anticipated and print large. Not as much content as had I hoped considering the cost of the book. No photos or original articles are included within.
