A Week on Rations

by Karen Wiles

Do you think you could survive on 1940s rations? During WW2 the country made rationing an art form, stretching their meagre rations and digging for victory.

In this book we explain why and how our country was thrown into food rationing and how they coped. We also look at our week living on rations, how we faired, our feelings and what we did.
