Life's Been Good: The Children of the Great Depression by Glen McLaren

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Small mark oninside front cover and half-title page. A few tiny marks on foredges. Body text and binding are still very good.

Today, few can comprehend what it was like to live through the Great Depression. Grinding poverty meant that many children had to work. Childhood was a luxury. Despite this, the Depression Generation did not become hard and bitter. Overall, they were a generous and relatively socially cohesive group.

This book is a collection of interviews with people who grew up through the Depression - men and women, urban and rural, Australian-born and migrant.
