Luton-born author Paul Rance's book about growing up in Luton from the 1960s to early 1980s is a lot more than a basic autobiography.
In Made in Luton there are memories of family, friends and the areas of the town the author grew up in. But there are too extensive reflections of national and global events, music, sport (especially Luton Town FC), films, TV and fashion that the author remembers vividly. The author's roots also feature strongly, with stories of his family over the past few centuries in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in particular. You will find, in addition, stories about some of the most famous people to come out of Luton since the time of the Wars of the Roses. Made in Luton is an ambitious attempt to mix autobiography with history and popular culture in a rare way that is designed to move, entertain and inform the reader.
