Summary note
The changing nature of childhood in the 20th century and the way in which developments in technology may have diminished childhood in some way is frequently the topic of media debate. Whereas much of this media coverage is speculation, anecdotes and misinformation, this book offers a more informed account of changes in the nature of the relationship between play, media and commercial culture in England through the analysis of play in the 1950s and 60s and the present day.
