Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Glasgow in the 1950s was a deprived and often violent place. Meg Henderson was part of a large family, and when the tenement block in which they lived collapsed they had to move to the notorious Blackhill district where religious sectarianism and gang warfare were part of daily life. Yet despite appalling conditions , there was warmth, laughter and a remarkable spirit, andMeg's mother and her Aunt Peggy, both idealistic and emotional women, shielded her from the effects of her father's heavy drinking. A hopeless romantic, Peggy searched for a husband until late in life and then endured a harsh, unhappy marriage. When she died horrifically in childbirth her death devastated the family and destroyed Meg's childhood. Only later, after the death of her own mother, was Meg able to discover the shocking facts behind the tragedy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In a career of great range and depth, Dame Peggy Ashcroft was an important part of most new movements in British theatre for more than half a century. Always preferring her place in a permanent company to personal fame, she made the Royal Shakespeare Company a living reality and helped to put the National Theatre firmly on the map when it moved to the South Bank. Apart from her excellence in classical roles, her willingness to take chances allied her to Beckett, Pinter, Duras and Albee. It was in her late seventies that she embarked on "A Passage to India" and "The Jewel in the Crown", and revealed her talent to a wider public. Michael Billington followed Dame Peggy's career closely for many years, and in this book he offers an insight into the life of a complex and private woman. Through conversations with her and contemporaries such as Sir John Gielgud, George Rylands, Sir Anthony Quayle and Sir Peter Hall, he sets out to show how she was a pivotal influence in British theatre. This edition has been revised after Dame Peggy's death, to include a postscript and updated chronology. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR008695447

Paperback. Condición: Fine. 'Hilariously funny and often moving memoir . we loved every word *****' Heat 'Open, honest . her misadventures are hilariously described.charming and funny' Daily Express The hilarious and heartwarming memoir of Miranda and her life changing dog, the inimitable and most lovable Peggy. Hello dear book browser and welcome to Peggy and Me, the story of my life since getting a beautiful Shih-Tzu Bichon Frise cross puppy (I call the breed a Shitty Frise - fun) in the form of Peggy. Some of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally brilliant, I need hear no more, I'm sold." In which case we should be best friends and go out to tea together, every day. Others of you may be thinking: "a book about a dog, how totally mad, she must have officially lost it." In which case I completely understand. For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion. The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes and sofas; and worse, an alarming comfort and ease around excrement. But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds. It wasn't instant love I have to admit. Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy - there was a lot of challenging, what I call, dog administration (dog-min), and the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me. It's been a bumpy old road, but Peggy has been lovingly by my side through some life changing moments and I wouldn't have coped without her. Most surprisingly she has taught me a huge amount - not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin and lick it (I could already do that), but real lessons about life and love and trust and friendship. Put aside any doggy reservations and come walkies with Peggy and me . Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR007870853

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Garry O'Connor's is the first full biography. In her lifetime she discouraged anyone who pried into her life. The private person remained undisclosed. Conceived following her death in 1991, O'Connor's biography redresses the balances. She was married three times and each marriage ended in divorce. O'Connor says she never reconciled herself to the differences between role-playing and private life. There's a frankness in the book that will astonish many readers.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. June Spencer may well be best known as matriarch Peggy Archer (now Woolley), of one of the UK's best known and longest running soap operas, but aged 90 now, she'd seen and done a lot before (and since) joining the Archers 60 years ago. The only original member of the cast still in The Archers, June has worked in showbusiness since the age of 12, when she wrote and produced her own stage shows for her family. She grew up to become an after-dinner entertainer, finally making her way to radio, starring in classics such as Dick Barton and Children's Hour. Born back when milk was collected in a jug from the local store, June takes us back in time as she affectionately recalls the slower pace of childhood, life during the second world war, a that she hardly knew returning from Burma, and later, his decline due to Alzheimer's and the subsequent identical story line with her fictional husband. June also talks about 60 years of life with the Archers, telling all about characters, classic storylines and her own life, from playing Mary Queen of Scots and bringing up children, to meeting the Queen. Where Peggy is stern and doesn't see the funny side of things, June's endearing story is infused with humour and a joy of life. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR002390866
