Cover Blurb
The Swinging Sixtoes are on their way, but the important things in life stay the same in Albert Square. In spite of his father's urgings, Dr Legg is still the local GP. And Alf BArrett is still behind the bar at the Queen Victoria.

But for the Beale Family it is a time of change Young Pete Beale insists on marrying Pat Harris - much to his family's dissappointment. And much to the disappointment of Kath Hills, whose youthful dreams are shattered.

Swings and Roundabouts continues the human story of the families who live around Albert Square. It is a story not only of mistakes and setbacks, but also of people learning the hard lessons of life and - sometimes - coming out on top in the end.
