Born in 1954?

$24.99

Ron Williams

This is the fifth of the 1950s and the eleventh book overall to be released in a series of 30 about life in Australia – one for each year from 1939 to 1968. They describe happenings that affected people, real people.

The whole series, to coin a modern phrase, is designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten. The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Ā Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered. In 1954, Queen Elizabeth II was sent here victorious, Petrov was our very own spy – what a thrill. Boys were being sentenced to life. Johnny Ray cried all the way to the bank. Church halls were being used for dirty dancing. Open the pubs after six? Were they ever shut? A-bombs had scardies scared.
