This text focuses on Britain enjoying its leisure in a kaleidoscope of sporting, cultural, musical and social events, from the boxing news of 1900, Lillie Langtry on stage at the Imperial Theatre and Spurs winning the FA cup in 1901, to the first BBC TV in 1936, the pop explosion of the 1960's and the golfing triumph of Tony Jacklin in 1970. The book covers the major sporting and cultural highlights of the first 70 years of the century and also charts the change in domestic pastimes, from the parlour games of the Edwardian years, to radio and television.
