DESCRIPTION:

Shortlisted, Premier's Children's History Prize, New South Wales Premier's History Awards 1998
Every night before tea we sat with our ears glued to the wireless, listening to the radio serials. That was back in the 1950s, before television arrived. I watched my first TV in a shop window. In those days, bread was delivered by horse and cart, and people had only just heard of rock'n'roll. Every Saturday afternoon I would go to the movie matinee with my friends and roll Jaffas down the ailes.
Life was different then, but kids still go up to mischief...
When I was a kid recreates the world of the 1950s, from beach fashions to the exterior of a DC3, from the Giggle Palace at Luna Park to the threepenny bungers on Guy Fawkes' Night. It is a book for adults and children to share, a book that will prompt memories and questions about the past.
