Summary:
A delightful piece of wartime publishing, now reissued! All of the
practicality, ingenuity, and make-do-and-mend-ethos that helped win
the war—from knitting balaclava helmets for the navy to making
croquet games for the floor and table for blackout days—is chronicled
here for historical novelty and inspiration. With 101 suggestions for
things to do during Britain’s darkest hour, this charming guide pulls
together suggestions for making puzzles in cardboard and toys in wool
and felt, cooking meatless dishes without using water, fixing up the
garden, and preparing lampshades for the blackout. With dozens of
diagrams, patterns and instructions, it is not only a fascinating
look at the past but can be used for reference even now.
