The Best Days of Our Lives by Simon Webb

The Best Days of Our Lives by Simon Webb

Following the disruption, hardship and challenges of the Second World War, the post-war years brought a sense of optimism and excitement, with families at last enjoying peacetime. This new book follows the lives of the nation’s schoolchildren through the two decades following the war years, recalling what it was like for those experiencing the creation of a new school system; a system underpinned by the introduction of the 11 plus exam and the provision of free secondary education for all. Combining personal reminiscences with a lively description of what was going on in the wider world of British education, Simon Webb provides a vivid and entertaining picture of school life during in the 1940s and ’50s which is sure to bring back nostalgic memories for all who remember the best days of their lives.

Simon Webb, who lives on the outskirts of London, is the author of more than thirty westerns, published under both his own name and also a number of pseudonyms; for example Brent Larssen, Harriet Cade, Ed Roberts, Ethan Harker and Fenton Sadler. In addition to westerns, he has written many non-fiction books, chiefly on the subjects of social history and education. He is married, with two children.
