Pam Ayres - The Works: The Classic Collection

Bought this for a change, fancied a bit of humour.

it,s our Pam,, what can you not dislike..

Would have given this book 5 stars, but sorry to say this book, although looking good arrived smelling very "musty". Took several days to try and dry it out. Not the usual Amazon quality that I am used to.Bas

She’s so funny

so nice for when your having some down moments you cant help but laugh but also its a great read once i pick it up i find it hard to put down dont read it if you have had stitches as you will likely burst them with laughing so much

Very good condition. Very happy with it

About authorPam Ayres has been a regular on television and radio since winning the TV talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1975. More than thirty years later, Pam is a regular on BBC Radio 4 in her own series Ayres on the Air, as well as on programmes such as Just a minute, Loose ends and That reminds me. Pam performs her solo stage show throughout Britain and around the world.Blurb on the backHonest, hilarious and occasionally poignant, Pam’s humorous verse deftly exposes the absurdities of everyday life and continues to delight fans of all ages around the world.Good bits about the bookHer poems are short, punchy, witty and humorous all good points! She writes about everyday concerns in life but makes them interesting and funny. In some poems she writes in dialect which just adds to the hilarity (?).Bad bits about the bookThere is nothing to put here. All her poems were about different subjects so not boring. She has a knack for making otherwise mundane issues funny.Rating for bookFour out of five stars. There are poets I prefer but she is definitely one of the best.

I have always enjoyed Pam Ayres' unique talent to amuse/ challenge/entertain. I received a copy as a birthday gift and then purchased another copy to give to another friend. Not letting mine go! It contains all her well known poems (not the wedding one, which is wrongly attributed to her). It is the sort of book which you can happily flip through and choose a poem for a quick read. Excellent.
