About this item
The book is described as " A vivid portrait of post-war Bermondsey through the eyes of the Pre-Fab generation". The book tells the story of a group of teenage friends in the last year of their liberty before being called up for National Service in the 1950s. "Living in the close community of a Prefab village, their everyday adventures create a vivid portrait of post-War Bermondsey that many of us will recognise. To those living in the old terraces, the Prefab generation seemed imbued with a new confidence, facing life with a frankness and enviable freedom sadly missed today...." The book has original illustrations by the author.
Binding tight. Pages clean and bright. The author has written "With all best wishes Terry Scales" on the inside of the front cover. There is a slight crease in the top, outside corner of the front board. The board corners are bumped outwards and there is a scuff at the top outside edge of the back board.
