About this book

Television back on air, bread on the ration and Dick Barton on the wireless: 1946 in large print, for an 80th birthday.

Born in 1946 takes them back to the year Britain came home from the war. Families began to receive a new family allowance of five shillings a week, and Derby County won the first Cup Final after the war.

Every word is printed at 16 point or bigger on large 8.25 x 11 inch pages, 140 of them. A gift page at the front takes your own message.

For an 80th birthday or a family Christmas: write your message, then open it together and see what they remember.
