This book is the first to trace the story of children's cinema from the end of Victoria's reign to its demise in 1982. The book taps into, evokes through its many black and white photographs, and frequently quotes, the remembered experience of millions of people. This book will revive many personal memories and, by setting out the context of the original experiences, will make a distinctive contribution to the history of British cinema.
An excellent synthesis of approaches... deployed with considerable brio. -- Steve Jones, Nottingham Trent University An excellent synthesis of approaches... deployed with considerable brio.
