Hand Me Down Histories - Judy Rose

If you came across old sepia photos and small trinkets in a battered old biscuit tin, would you know their significance and the stories and memories that went with them? We all have warm memories of senior family members and the stories they have told us about their lives and experiences. We try to recall their special sayings, the traditions they upheld and the way they viewed the world. Often though, these precious family memories and stories are lost as time goes by. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our children, and generations to come, could learn directly from their ancestors about the world they knew? Now they can with HAND ME DOWN HISTORIES.

This special book is the perfect gift for grandparents, parents and children alike. It preserves the wonderful stories, photographs and memories of by-gone ages that are so important to family history. With exceptional design, quality of paper and a beautifully constructed path to help the reader ask the right questions of their relatives and chart their own family story, it is the perfect place to collate photographic treasures, ageing documents and family tree workings. It also includes some wonderful social history about the 30s, 40s and 50s that will bring alive the childhoods of grandparents and parents alike. HAND ME DOWN HISTORIES will ensure that, though photos fade, memories will stay bright.
