The ultimate Pam Ayres collection showcasing Britain's favourite poet's lifetime of work, stretching back over more than 50 years

'Pam Ayres is a proper poet, whose wistful, funny, and perceptive verse captures both the joy and unfairness of life.' The Sunday Times

Pam Ayres has spent a lifetime bringing joy to the nation with her poetry, providing profound and hilarious insights into the delights and tribulations of daily life. In pursuing a career as a performer and a writer as a young girl, she stepped outside of what was expected of her and created a life she could only dream of, travelling the world and bringing roars of laughter wherever she goes. Now, Pam has gathered together the last five decades of poetry in this beautifully illustrated collection and reflects back on her writing in new introductions.
