This glorious celebration of motherhood features stories and personal recollections by popular writers. It is sprinkled with wonderfully touching and funny anecdotes from figures such as Jilly Cooper, Arabella Weir, and Jenni Murray and features cartoons by Posy Simmonds, Sally Ann Lasson, and illustrations by Shirley Hughes and Quentin Blake. This rich treasure trove reflects the many voices of motherhood from across the generations.

Grandparents—what would we do without them? They come in all shapes and sizes but with their wise words and kind ways they can be a source of inspiration and encouragement like no other. Here Britain's national treasures share their personal anecdotes about grandparents. Some recollect fond childhood memories of their Granny or Granddad, while others share with us their own experiences of what it is like to be a grandparent. Both hugely entertaining and heart warming, this wonderful celebration is the perfect gift for a much-loved grandparent.
