What do arseholes, apostrophes and aging all have in common? They’re all entries for the informal and idiosyncratic dictionary of Miriam Margolyes.
The Little Book of Miriam is an A-Z collection of wit and wisdom, insights, jokes, stories and aphorisms guaranteed to touch your heart, kickstart your brain, and leave you in stitches.
From Arnie to Dolly, Blackadder to Scorsese, Graham Norton to Harry Potter; the Vagina Monologues to ZOOM, welcome back to the irrepressible and unstoppable world of Miriam Margolyes.
Packed with her wit, wisdom and unfiltered stories, The Little Book of Miriam is a memory palace of Miriam’s extraordinary life’s standout moments, opinions and conclusions.
Never forget that this is a woman who knocked back Warren Beatty, played to an audience of two thousand naked lesbians, injected sex into the Cadbury’s Caramel Bunny and was VOGUE‘S cover star aged 83. Miriam is always full of surprises and this book is too.
Deliciously dip-in-able, thought-provoking and mirth-inducing, elegantly designed and always interesting – whether sharing daring declarations, behind-the-scenes antics or talking about the indignities of ageing, this is a book as unique and extraordinary as Miriam herself.
“Our naughtiest national treasure . . . famously filthy, funny and phlegmatic.” – Guardian
