Hoo's Who

Like dropping in for coffee with old friends from all social classes this book gently tells the life stories of more than a dozen residents of Kent from the last century. From changes in farming medicine and welfare; the trials of war; the eccentricities of wealth; the resourcefulness of poverty to the astonishing survival of spirit at the hands of a cruel grandmother. Put the kettle on and share a cup of coffee with Hoo's Who.
