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 illustrated collection and reflects back on her writing in new introductions.
