With 'History' making a more visible presence via the National Curriculum, this is one way it could be learnt as Michael Foreman tells us about his childhood in wartime Suffolk. I loved all the minutiae that brought a fresh perspective on a world that's now past - the beauty of the gas mask for making rude noises and the other boys' fathers saying goodnight to a little boy they wished was their own, for instance. A vivid fresh look into a well covered story that's as good as sitting on grandad's knee. The paperback format lacks the space and colour of the original hardback but don't let this put you off.
