"The novel brings back, as few non-fiction works have for me, the political atmosphere of the 1950s, when the arms race between the two great superpowers, America and the USSR, dominated a world in which Britain, losing face over Suez, Cyprus and its African colonies, could not believe it had lost its power in the world. It's a joyous book in which children say things like, "You're in a proper pickle", "Gosh, what a spiv!" and "I think it's simply lousy!". All the grown-ups smoke cigarettes and you can spot an Old Harrovian in the station car park because of his scarf" (A. N. Wilson). RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
