False Teeth and A Smoking Mermaid
Famous people reveal the strange and beautiful truth about themselves and their grandparents
“All of my grandparents were beloved friends who offered wisdom without solemnity, and helped to shape my values without ever preaching at me”. Neil Kinnock
HRH Prince Charles,Sir Michael Caine, Dame Ellen MacArthur, Dame Judi Dench, Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Sir Richard Bransson and Sir Terry Wogan are joined by a host of personalities from the worlds of politics, sport, religion, television, film, comedy, music and literature in False Teeth and A Smoking Mermaid, an enchanting collection of memoirs which celebrates the relationship between grandparent and grandchild.
The collection – whose title originates from the hilarious contributions by Ricky Gervais and Katie Price (formerly know as Jordan) - is packed full of fascinating anecdotes, many of which are revealed for the first time.
Ann Widdecombe attributes her lack of image consciousness to her grandmother and she says that her grandmother “would give away her heart strings”,
Also in the collection the late Bob Monkhouse as a young boy aged about twelve, described his grandfather as "my favourite person in the whole world".
Whilst Angela Rippon said of her grandmother when she died:-
“ I was just very sad knowing that I had lost forever my best friend.” and
Angela Rippon recalls "drowning in the warmth of a thousand feathers in her granny’s bed and snuggling up in her outstretched arms."
Often hilarious and highly personal, this collection of special memories of grandparents is truly enchanting.
