Description
Flattie is a poignant and humorous account of the author's family's experiences as Scottish Travelling Showpeople. The story follows the author's mother, who met her husband, a serving soldier during World War Two, without knowing he was a showman. As an outsider, she quickly learned that the life was not all bright lights and candyfloss, but also faced prejudice and heartache. The book explores the difficulties and struggles faced by fairground travellers after WW2, as well as the support and camaraderie of the travelling community.
