As a boy I was given my Mum's (b. 1930) childhood encyclopaedia / knowledge book set. From memory there were about eight of them, big, heavy and dull dark blue. One was heavily marked on its covers after being top of the pile in a house fire. I learned all about The Great War, the Empire, primitive peoples and many other important facts.
