London England: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC. Near Fine/Near Fine. Date: 2009. First Edition First Printing. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0747583854 Hardcover First Edition First Printing Family Britain, 1951-1957 (Tales of a New Jerusalem) As in Austerity Britain, an astonishing array of vivid, intimate and unselfconscious voices drive the narrative. The keen-eyed Nella Last shops assiduously at Barrow Market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines, relishing the detail of suburban life, brings up her children in Chingford; the self-absorbed civil servant Henry St John perfects the art of grumbling. These and many other voices give a rich, unsentimental picture of everyday life in the 1950s. We also encounter well-known figures on the way, such as Doris Lessing (joining and later leaving the Communist Party), John Arlott (sticking up on Any Questions? for the rights of homosexuals) and Tiger's Roy of the Rovers (making his goal-scoring debut for Melchester). All this is part of a colourful, unfolding tapestry, in which the great national events - the Tories returning to power, the death of George VI, the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth, the Suez Crisis - jostle alongside everything that gave Britain in the 1950s its distinctive flavour: . 2009.

In 2007 David Kynaston published Austerity Britain, 1945-1951 to much acclaim. The title consists of two books that together make the first volume in a projected series of six entitled Tales of a New Jerusalem. In this series Kynaston chronicles the history of Great Britain from the end of World War II to the ascension of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. Austerity Britain was named "Book of the Decade" by The Sunday Times. Family Britain (2010) was the second volume in the series, and was also released as two books. It covers the period from 1951 to the Suez crisis of 1956. The third volume, Modernity Britain, covering the years 1957–59, was published in June 2013. I am selling all of these and other volumes from this groundbreaking series on this site. As in Austerity Britain, an astonishing array of vivid, intimate and unselfconscious voices drive the narrative.
