Joanna Lumley's compendium of good cheer, wisdom and absolutely fabulous literary treasures.
Joanna Lumley's compendium of good cheer, wisdom and absolutely fabulous literary treasures.
Over the years Dame Joanna Lumley has kept private notebooks, filled with her favourite writings, thoughts and quotes. Now, for the first time, Joanna opens her Book of Treasures to readers to share some of her many and varied jottings. These range from the lines of her favourite poets to pearls of wisdom that she has heard or read to nuggets of trivia and miscellanea that have brought her joy.
Charming, uplifting and amusing, Joanna Lumley's Book of Treasures is a chocolate-box of delights, lovingly compiled and filled with surprise, laughter and absolutely fabulous titbits. It is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Joanna Lumley was born in Kashmir and educated in Malaysia and Sussex. She has spent much of her life in books, reading them night and day, and sometimes even writing them. Reading is the prop and mainstay of her life, but she has wrenched herself away to act in theatre, films and television, criss-crossing the globe with television documentaries and lending her voice to as many deserving causes as she can.
Dazzled by the wit and wisdom of others, she cuts out and keeps treasured pieces she wishes she had written herself. She is married to the conductor Stephen Barlow who reads all the time: theirs is a quiet household.
