Description
How does one play bridge in a gas mask Or enjoy motoring without consuming petrol Or deal with a nationwide shortage of pea-sticks For this compact little book Heath Robinson joined forces with writer Cecil Hunt to show civilians 'how to make the best of things' during the air raids, rationing, allotment tending and blackouts of the Second World War. The result is a warm celebration of the British population's ability to 'make do and mend'.
