Over recent weeks I btave been re-reading some of the childre n's books and papers which were published between 1939 and 1945. These range from the anarchical ly comic to the deeply moving and - rather like the popular songs of the period - provide instant .recall of the atmosphere of those diffi cult. sombre, frightening yet strangely stimu lating and uplifting times. Generally speaki ng, in what has been dubbed 'The People's War' because of the strong community involvement on 'the Home Front'. children's patriotism was intense and uncomplicated .

  • Bessie Bunter Missing Fortune
    HILDA RICHARDS BESSIE BUNTER AND THE MISSING FORTUNE CHAPTER I A Fright for the Fourth 'RIPPING weather!' 'Gorgeous! ' 'Just the afternoon for taking some snaps!' 'Rather!' 'And for a picnic!' fat Bessie Bunter put in eagerly. 'I say, you know, dud-don't forget the picnic―' There was a laugh from the crowd of merry-looking schoolgirls gathered on the steps of Cliff House School, and Bessie Bunter, the fattest member of the party blinked in indignant surprise. 'Well, what is there to cackle at in that?' she demanded. 'It is a ripping afternoon for a picnic! ' 'Right, Fatima!' agreed Barbara Redfern, the leader of the party. 'And a picnic there shall be, too. But the main object of the outing is to take snaps. That's why I've brought my camera.' As a matter of fact, they all had cameras-except Bessie. Bessie's camera had departed during the winter in exchange for a few shillings to buy tuck. 'Well, what are we waiting for?' the fat one exclaimed impatiently. 'And, I say, where are we going? I hope it's not too far, you know. I'm famished as it is!' There was another laugh at that. Trust Bessie to put her appetite first! The beauties of the afternoon, the thrill of picture-hunting, were considerations which fat Bessie completely ignored. A picnic was in prospect, and a picnic was Bessie's immediate and only ambition. 'We're waiting for Marcelle,' Barbara Redfern explained, and glanced over her shoulder into the school. 'She forgot her camera, and has gone to her study to fetch it.

    STORY PAPER COLLECTORS' DIGEST VOL. 56 No. 653 MARCH2002 GEMS OF BAMILTONIA from PETE HANGER Of course. it had to be kept dark. Bunter was too busy in envisaging his coming wealth to think much about the shady side of the proceedings. He was willing to admit. as a mauer of argument, that gambling was wrong , or. at least disrep1,1table;but there were e11ceptiuns to every rule - in favour ot" Bunter. Besides. an absolu te certajnty Like this could hardly be called gambling: it was more like a sober and seda te business transaction. Anyhow . if Bunter's fat conscience had a twinge or two on the subject. the twinges were not severe. Bunter was the happy possessor of a very accommodating conscience, and it could always stretch a little when required. Still, the thing had to be kept dark . Beoigbt.ed Headmasters and foolish Fom, masters did not understand such thitigs - even the Remove men, instead or admiring Bunter' s geni us. would simply look on him as a disreputable young rasca l - they might even kick him; Peter Todd , in fact , was sure to kick hirn , if he knew . Bunte r realised that his racing transactions cou ld not be kept too dark . MAGNET 1068 "AU right!'' said Billy Bunte r. Bllnter 's tone, which was fearfully sarcas tic and sardonic, implied. that in point of fact. ii was far from all right! Ttwas, indeed, all wrong . Billy Bunt er was wrathy. He was indignant. He was deeply irritated. He had not been treated with the distinction due to such a guest ever since be had arrived at Wharton Lodge.

  • A History of British School Uniform
    “It’s not for the sake of a ribboned coat”1: A History of British School Uniform Kate Stephenson PhD University of York History January 2016 1 Henry John Newbolt, Admirals All, and Other Verses (London: Elkin Mathews, 1898), 21. Abstract Despite a good deal of work on the history of education, uniforms and children‘s clothes as separate fields of research, the development of school uniform is an area that has received little meaningful academic attention to date. School uniform is a visibly prominent reflection of, not only, institutional values, but also of wider views and an indicator of cultural change. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to recreate the five hundred year history of British school uniform using archival, commercial and autobiographical sources to discuss trends in design, adoption and change across a wide range of educational institutions. In doing so the importance of social factors and constructs on the education system and school appearances have become apparent, most notable amongst these are class and gender, but also nationalism and religion. This broad approach enables a wider spectrum of influences and processes to be analysed and their impact seen over a longer time period, allowing connections to be made that might, otherwise, have been missed through close focus. The resulting wide temporal framework can also act as a basis in which future research may be situated. ii Contents Abstract ii Contents iii List of Illustrations v Acknowledgements vi Author’s Declaration vii Be Keen! viii Introduction
