description: The Spartan 1950s with their shortages and continued wartime rationing were a bleak time for adults, but for children the decade was a magical era -- the last, perhaps, of true childhood innocence. Gregory Holyoake, the Prefab Kid, has total recall of his earliest years when, a self-possessed child, he was lovingly indulged by his doting Mum and Gran. He writes of his cosy prefab home, his toys, the games he played, picnics and outings, Saturday morning pictures, school and the arrival of television. The frailties and foibles of the grown-ups are brilliantly observed through the memories of a small boy whose sparkling memories will enchant all who share them.
