Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bibles, Bugles and Bloomers is a book of historical moments recounted by those 'who were there'. When Gary was given a WW1 soldier's Bible, by war veteran Timothy, he had no idea that it would become the first of an extensive collection and the beginning of the author's living history talk 'Down memory lane'. As Gary took his historical artefacts; Bibles, uniforms, dresses, toys, comics and, yes, bloomers into care homes, the residents began to share their own remarkable stories, all of which Gary faithfully recorded. Bibles, Bugles and Bloomers is the result, a unique collection of memories that provides an insight to historical events from those who witnessed them first hand, including a woman who 'met Hitler' at the Berlin Olympics, another who danced with Glen Miller, and a man who remembered scoring a goal for West Ham, plus many more. This is a book that will appeal to all ages, to be shared with grandchildren and elderly relatives alike. There is currently nothing that tells the story of the 20th century in quite the same way. This book invites us to remember all those individual 'moments' that make up history. This item is printed on demand.
