Littlejohn's Lost World

Richard Littlejohn was born in Ilford Essex in 1954. It wasn't just another century it was another country. There was no suffocating elf'n'safety culture no computer games and no-one suffered from now-fashionable food allergies. Instead of the internet there were libraries. Instead of 24-hour satellite television there was the anarchic free-for-all of Saturday morning pictures and Radio Luxembourg. Richard revisits childhood haunts - from the covered market which is now a 30-storey tower block to his old primary school. From Muffin the Mule to Jimi Hendrix at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 this book is part memoir part social documentary. Poignant warm and funny it really is a journey to a Lost World.
