We Learnt About Hitler at the Mickey Mouse Club: A Childhood on the Eve of War
For fans of Call the Midwife, a unique autobiography of a 1930s London childhood.Enid Elliot Linder was the daughter of a butler and a lady\'s maid in service in some of England\'s grandest country houses. Evoking the lost world of a childhood \'below stairs\', Linder\'s touching memoir describes how her life changed as Britain headed towards war.After the family moved to a Marylebone tenement, her father sought work in London restaurants whilst battling personal demons. Meanwhile Linder\'s aunt was nanny to a high-ranking member of the British Union of Fascists as they grew in influence.In a photorealistic and immensely charming narrative reminiscent of Patrick Hamilton, Linder evokes the sights and smells of prewar London - and of lonely Cornwall, to where she was unhappily evacuated - in a way that will appeal to fans of Downton Abbey. A unique personal account of a tumultuous time.
