Heath Robinson′s Home Front – How To Make Do and Mend in Style

by Cecil Hunt (Author), Cecil Hunt (Author), W.heath Robinson (Author)

Synopsis

How does one play bridge in a gas mask? Or enjoy motoring without consuming petrol? Or deal with a nationwide shortage of pea-sticks? For this compact little book Heath Robinson joined forces with writer Cecil Hunt to show civilians `how to make the best of things' during the air raids, rationing, allotment tending and blackouts of the Second World War. The result is a warm celebration of the British population's ability to `make do and mend'.
