Thora Hird's Book of Bygones

What ever happened to gas mantles and chimney pieces? Why don't people go courting anymore? What was it really like growing up between the wars? These and other questions are answered with wit and warmth as Dame Thora takes us on a trip down memory lane. Thora Hird's book of bygones is a treat for all those old enough to reminisce with her, as well as being an education for all those too young to be familiar with old terms such as "courting"!
