Brandon Robshaw (AKA the dad in Back in Time for Dinner) picks out the children’s books from the 1950s to the 2000s that seem to sum up each decade.

You may have seen a BBC2 TV programme that my family and I appear in, Back in Time for Dinner. In it, we live life first as a 1950s family, wearing 1950s clothes and eating 1950s food in a 1950s house – and then the following week we’re in the 1960s, and the week after that the 1970s, and so it goes up until the start of the 21st century.
