“The purpose of this web/library guide is to help the user gain a broad understanding of the Roaring 1920s. While there is no way we can link to everything, we have attempted to find areas of special interest and to select information that we hold dear today, for example books we love - movies we watch - songs we sing - events we find interesting - people we admire.”
