Other books I must mention are the brilliant book Wartime Britain 1939–1945 by Juliet Gardiner; Cardboard Wedding Cakes, Chris Neale; The 1940s Look, Mike Brown; We’ll Eat Again, Marguerite Patten OBE; Baker’s Tale, Jane Evans; Bread: A Slice of History, Marchant, Reuben & Alcock; The Wartime House, Mike Brown and Carol Harris; Eating For Victory, Jill Norman; Make Do and Mend, Jill Norman; Wartime Women, Dorothy Sheridan; The View From The Corner Shop, Kathleen Hey; Our Daily Bread – A History of Barron’s Bakery, Roz Crowley; Spuds, Spam and Eating for Victory, Katherine Knight; Reader’s Digest: The People’s War, Felicity Goodall; Save Bread, Susannah Walker; A Woman in Wartime London, Edited by Patricia and Robert Malcolmson; and The Ministry of Food, Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall.
Finally, I found looking at photographs from the era was really helpful, including those on the Imperial War Museum’s website and many others, as well as wartime poster-advertising campaigns. I’m indebted to the incredible personal stories told on the BBC People’s War website, an invaluable archive of Second World War memories, written by the public and gathered by the BBC.
I hope I have remembered everything and everyone. Heartfelt thanks to them all for making it possible for me to write this book.
