Christmas on the Home Front 1939-1945 Christmas on the Home Front 1939-1945

by Mike Brown

The outbreak of war in 1939 saw the
disappearance of many traditional
British celebrations. Summer holidays
became a thing of the past and Easter
all but disappeared as chocolate – and
even real eggs – went ‘on the ration’.
In spite of this the nation remained
determined to celebrate Christmas as
a time of family and community; a
time when war could be set aside, if
only for a day. Drawing upon personal
recollections, contemporary Mass
Observation reports, newspaper
articles and advertisements, personal
and archive photographs, Mike Brown
looks at each wartime christmas on
the British Home Front, from 1939 to
1944.
Hardback, 244 x 172mm, 208pp
100 b&w illustrations
isbn: 9780750938198

The Wartime House Home Life in Wartime Britain 1939-1945 The Wartime House Home Life in Wartime Britain 1939-1945

by Mike Brown, Carol Harris

The demands of a nation at war had
many other far-reaching effects on the
average home. How did women cope
with bringing up a family singlehandedly
after their husbands were
conscripted for military service? By
looking at the lives of ordinary people
who inhabited the world of suburbia,
the authors have painted a vivid
picture of daily life in wartime Britain.
Paperback, 263 x 194mm, 192pp
125 b&w illustrations
isbn: 9780750942126
