The collection works to center the experiences of children and young people in a field where their experiences are often studied only in relation to other histories. In doing so, the authors demonstrate how the history of childhood helps paint a more complete picture of the past. For example, by focusing on the experiences of urban children, Rebecca Ball’s chapter challenges the belief that the home front was a predominantly female space and questions the assumption that relationships between civilians and soldiers were largely defined by separation. The latter half of the collection examines contemporary understandings of the war and children’s place within it, along with ways that the war was presented to later generations. Jane Rosen considers how children’s novels produced over the past four decades preserve myths about the war in an attempt to tell morally instructive tales. Sam Edwards discusses how the war has been portrayed and commemorated through television. The collection concludes with a fascinating chapter by Maggie Andrews that will interest both academic and public historians. Andrews reviews the numerous accommodations that were undertaken to make the centennial commemorations of the First World War palatable for consumption by young people in the United Kingdom. She outlines the various political, historiographic, and economic factors that shaped and ultimately limited the histories of the war that were shared with young people. Overall, this collection provides a wealth of insight into the experiences of young people in World War I. Melanie Tebbutt’s analysis of how children experienced the darkened space of the cinemas is especially innovative. As a whole, the book demonstrates that growing up during a time of conflict had enormous effects on young people’s lives; however, these effects were diverse and sometimes contradictory.

time, Caroline Rusterholz emphasizes the benefits of age-based analyses, arguing that controversies restricted younger teenagers’ access to sexual welfare services, thus complicating the “common narrative about the liberalization of sexuality” (271). Indeed, the methodological breadth of the volume is commendable, from Claudia Soares’ investigation of the mature perspectives of people who had spent time in nineteenth century welfare institutions as children, to Maria Marven’s in-depth analysis of oral history interviews with those who were admitted to convalescent homes between 1932 and 1961. The postscript, which reflects on “why histories of children’s experiences of welfare matter,” is a refreshing conclusion and the decision to make the book open access underscores the editors’ commitment to creating a dialogue with those “who have the power to shape the welfare of children today” (273). Ultimately, this is an engaging and accessible collection that contributes numerous insights to the historiographies of childhood, welfare, and modern Britain, and it is sure to be of interest to researchers and students working in any of these areas. This enjoyable book concludes that “[c]hildren’s experiences of welfare are important, not merely because children are investments for the future, but because their lives matter now” (278) and it should prove valuable to anyone interested in children’s welfare, regardless of their disciplinary or academic affiliations.
