This Happy Breed

The Gibbons family settle in a house in Clapham, South London shortly after the end of the First World War. As the children grow up and the country adapts to peacetime, the family attend a number of events, such as the British Empire Exhibition held at Wembley in 1924. Queenie longs to escape the suburbs and lead a more glamorous life elsewhere. As all of London is swept up in the Jazz Age, news of new German chancellor Adolf Hitler begins to appear in the newspapers.
