About this book
Premium Bonds, skiffle in the coffee bars and a second TV channel in the Midlands: 1956 in large print, for a 70th birthday.
Born in 1956 takes them back to the year they arrived: "Rock Around the Clock" at number one, money in pounds, shillings and pence, and Jim Laker's 19 wickets at Old Trafford. Then it follows them through the years they turned 5, 10, 13, 15, 18 and 21, with room on every milestone to write what they remember.
All 134 pages are printed at 16 point or bigger, with plenty of room to write. A gift page at the front takes your own message.
For a 70th birthday or a family Christmas: read it together, play the quiz at the tea table and pass round the Birthday Wishes page.
