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 1953, pets in churches were welcomed with open arms. Painless childbirth was popular, especially among women. Be warned – the coronation of Elizabeth will soon be in the news. Edmund Hillary reached the top. Thallium became popular, as a footballer found out. Lots of Pom migrants had done their time, and went back to Mother England.

Partner loving his book totally appreciated it. I would definitely recommend.
My partner just loved this book
This is a wonderful book for anyone born in 1953 who has ever (or even never) wondered what was going on around them at the time of their Birth. Parents in those early times didn’t keep the coins of that year or register significant political, environmental or cultural events. This book enables us to go back in time and to see how our birth ‘changed the World’. 😆. I have bought 4 other books for family members since receiving mine.
These books have a lot of interesting information.... they have been put away for family Christmas gifts 😁
My brother was delighted with yet another great title from you. It arrived very quickly at the other end of Australia where he now lives.
