  With photographs and illustrations, this is a descriptive account of ordinary family life in Great Britain during the thirties. After an introduction to the history of the time - the depression, unemployment and poverty faced in the thirties - the book looks at the exciting developments in entertainment and travel as they affected ordinary families. More mundane aspects of family life, such as shopping, clothing, diet and health and schooling are also described. The book is indexed and also includes a glossary and a further reading list.
