Product Description

A life story of other people's children, bombs and flowers. War, patriotism, gardening, knitting, faith and children defined the life of English children's nanny Grace Brown. The scrapbook she left behind is a unique record of Victorian employers in Yorkshire in the 1880s, through to the London Blitz and cards from America with terrible news of beloved friends and relatives lost in the Holocaust. Reproduced in a facsimile edition, with a commentary placing the scrapbook in its historical context, this unique and beautiful document spans 80 years of history and will appeal to fans of the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.
