Summary
The spartan fifties, with their shortages and continued wartime rationing were a black time for adults, but for children the decade was a magical era - the last, perhaps, of true childhood innocence.
Gregory Holyoake, the Prefab Kid has total recall of his earlier years when as a self-possessed only child, he was lovingly indulged by his doting Mum and Gran. He writes of his cosy prefab home, his toys, Saturday morning pictures, school and the arrival of television. The frailties and foibles of the grown-ups are brilliantly observed through the eyes of a small boy whose sparkling memories will enchant all who share them.
(Although this book is set in Kent it will touch a chord with anyone in the country over the age of fifty five!)
Gregory Holyoake lives in Deal and is a well known author throughout the country. His definitive works on Deal have been reprinted several times and he is currently working on two other books at present. He is also an actor and is involved with many productions.
