Nothing is more comforting than reading a book by Deric Longden, snuggled up with a cup of tea. His books fill me with a calm joy that no other author has. He has a unique anthropomorphic style, giving qualities to inanimate objects and all kinds of animals. This book had me giggling out loud and i was sad when it finished as it was the last of his books that i had not read. I wish he would write more, truly.

I adore this mans work - I do wish that he would write more!!

He is so funny - on a par with Bill Bryson...

His pathos and humour are brilliant...

[Alison]

latest of his books. very much the same style but generate a giggle and even a tear. this one about the filming of the earlier book, about his mother too, as played by thora hird

[Jazzy Stephenson]

A book about a film based on a book! Deric Longden's witty words had me laughing out loud once again.

I love Deric Longden's books. He always manages to make humour out of any situation. It was great being back in the world of Thermal, Tigger, William & to meet Little Chap. Excellent story about turning Lost for words into a TV play.
