Looking at the decade through the eyes of people who were children at the time, this volume looks at the 1980s. It focuses on interviews with four people from different walks of life - rich, poor, urban and country dwellers - who grew up at that time. Their memories and reflections are combined with historical information and photographs to give a sense of what life was like as a child in the era of the Rubik's Cube and legwarmers; what their home life was like, what food they ate and where they went of holidays. Readers can learn about important events of the 1980s such as the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981 and the Falklands War in 1982.
