This collection of the best of Betty Bendell, a leading magazine columnist for the UK edition of Good Housekeeping and other magazines, will delight and amuse. From 'My dollyrocking days are over' (1966) to her last column for GH in 1980, these 87 magazine columns have been chosen for their glorious humour, their social history and absolute embeddedness in British life in the late 1960s to 1980. Betty recorded her era from the perspective of a mother and a wife at home, in the school playground, at the parties, in the garden, on holiday, in the shops, and queuing at the supermarket, speculating wildly about the lives of her friends and neighbours.
