It is fascinating reading information on my Grandfather David Wright. I am the son of Nicky Wright, and was also named after my Grandfather. The artistic genes are still carried on by both my sisters and I. Personally I would love to learn more I was only nine years old when my dad passed away. A lot of his past and my grandfathers remain a mystery to me.

But later I discovered I was fascinated by history when I got to reading what life was actually like - in particular the sort of primary source accounts that Mass-Observation specialized in. These strips - as you rightly say, Peter - are a fantastic record of a past society, not directly as a historical record but (even more interesting!) as an indication of the kinds of fantasies people were indulging in during those austere post-War days.<br /><br />All of which is another way of saying thanks for another great eye-opening post. At least this time you're not costing me anything on Amazon :-)Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.com
