When Christine Wilson began a collaboration with her old university professor, Alex Burns, on a series of magazine articles, they hadn't met for nearly thirty years. In the interim, they had both been long and happily married. After all, they were both far too old for all the turmoil of love. Weren't they? This book tells their story.

Reflecting Birmingham in the 1940s and 1950s, this work tells of the games played then in the streets: hopscotch, queenie, marbles, skipping, roller skating. It takes us back to school life during and after the war, to what it was like to be sick before the advent of the NHS and antibiotics; and more.
