Our Feature Articles and Other Bits and Pieces

For Example, J'accuse: To anyone who enjoys reading, to anyone who cherishes the arts, to anyone who loves doing research, there are only two mortal sins.

The first is book burning. And the second is censorship. Actually they're equally reprehensible.

16pp - One of the very collectable "Take Home Books" series from the 1950s and '60s. 1st ed.

Ah, the simple bygone days when a simple pie-graph could be used to "prove that leisure represents the major part of our lives..." And so an exposition on how to use all that leisure time, we used to have, more pleasurably.

Hobman, who died in Jan 2004 was a social reformer, who had helped to transform the ways in which our society views older people. At the time he wrote this booklet he was Information Officer for the National Council of Social Service. He was author of the book A Guide to Voluntary Service.

In 1970 he was appointed general secretary of what was then the National Old People's Welfare Council. In that post he devised a new image both for the organisation and for "the elderly" it represented. The council at that time also adopted the title it's now known by, Age Concern England.

After he retired he wrote regularly for Saga magazine.
