Tea at Miss Cranston's

About this book

In Tea at Miss Cranston's Anna Blair recreates a bygone era through the recollections of countless Glaswegians who shared their memories with her during extensive interviews. Nostalgic, yet never rose-tinted or bitter, they offer a candid picture of the joys and hardships - as well as of the mundane and everyday occurrences - of past times. This omnibus edition of her much acclaimed books is a feast of history and together provide a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant and intimate insides of a great city in years gone by.
