Journalist Sue Taylor gathered Ethel May Elvin's reminiscences to be able to record the first-hand account of the day-to-day life in the early part of the last century - before it is gone for good. Ethel May Elvin, born when Edward VII was King in 1906, is one of the few remaining authentic voices of that era. She recalls her father's account of standing sentry at Queen Victoria's funeral, the privations and small pleasures of a working-class childhood of the day, as well as growing up through the First World War and surviving the Second.
