Book description
The Little Book of the 1960s is a look back at the swinging decade from
someone who was there, in mind, body and spirit. But this is nostalgia
with a difference. This is nostalgia based on quirky facts, on
fascinating data, with a discerning eye on the bizarre, the frivolous
and the funny. It is a striking book of trivia in bite-sized pieces for
everyone who was there, or wishes they were. The sights, the sounds, the
lifestyle, the whole 1960s experience can be relived through the pages
of this book, but be warned - you'll need a sense of humour. Pick and
choose your subject - it's all here. A book that can be dipped in to
time and time again to reveal something new about the people, the
fashions, the scandals and teh enduring fascination of a decade that was
truly the most colourful of all.
Dee Gordon is a former recruitment executive. She left school,
met her first husband, and was a mod and a member of the Beatles Fan
Club in the 1960s, hence her interest in the period. She is the author
of a number of local history titles, including Voices of Stepney, The
Little Book of the East End, Infamous Essex Women and The Little Book
of Essex.
