Book Description
The Beano is Britain's longest-running and best-loved comic. Since 1938 it has brought thrills and laughter to generation after generation of children, seeing the young and young-at-heart through World War 2, the social changes of the 1950s and 60s and on into a new millennium. How has the comic evolved since its early days? How many of the classic characters and their stories do you remember? What are the important changes that have happened through the years, why have they happened and why has The Beano survived when all the other comics have folded? Every child in the UK since the 1950s has known Dennis the Menace, the Bash Street Kids, Minnie the Minx and Roger the Dodger, but how many know the writers and artists who created these iconic comic characters? How do they write the scripts week after week? Where did the inspiration come from? How did the artists come to work for this Great British institution? This is the story of the Beano Comic, told in the words of the people who made it, going back to the dark, harsh days of the 1930s and continuing through to the present day. A unique insight into the country’s most beloved comic.

Book Description
Do you remember glam rock, flares, cheesecloth shirts and chopper bikes? Then it sounds like you were lucky enough to grow up during the 1970s. Who could forget all the glam rock bands of that era, like Slade, Wizard, Mud and Sweet, or singers like Alvin Stardust, Marc Bolan and David Bowie? What about those wonderful TV shows like Starsky and Hutch, Kojak, Kung Fu and Happy Days? Fashion included platform shoes (we all had a pair), flared trousers, brightly patterned shirts with huge collars and colourful kipper ties. And everyone remembers preparing for power cuts and that long, hot summer of 1976. So dust off your space hopper and join us on this fascinating journey through a childhood during the seventies, with hilarious illustrations and a nostalgic trip down memory lane for all those who grew up in this memorable decade. Derek Tait has written over a dozen books, most of them about his early childhood in Singapore or the area of Plymouth in which he lives. He is now a full-time writer, but previous jobs have included a photographer and a cartoonist.

Book Description
First in a multivolume memoir, An Abnormally Normal Childhood follows John Case from birth to the age of eighteen, regaling readers with the details of his deeds and misadventures. While he grew up in a time of depression and war, John was largely protected from the restrictions and troubles of this time, leading a free- range childhood—so long as he was dutiful to his family and religion and respected others. Childish mischief, hilarious situations, and times of fast sadness and joy fill the pages of this absorbing memoir. This is a story of the way we were, of an early childhood full of innocence and simplicity. Industriousness, ingenuity, and perseverance are brought to life in John’s tales of his youthful foibles. John’s reflections touch on topics from the life of a schoolboy during war, religion and its effects, and corporal punishment, to quiet streets and the use of horses, among other things. Told with an engaging voice and a wry sense of humour, An Abnormally Normal Childhood takes the reader on a journey back to a simpler time and place, complicated by depression and war, and to the history of a childhood now past. John’s vivid recollections—laced with humour, intelligence, and curiosity—bring people and events to life on the page, painting a vivacious picture of his early years.
