At My Mother's Knee ...: and Other Low Joints

Paul O'Grady is one of Britain's very best loved entertainers. He is known and adored by millions, whether as the creator of the acid-tongued Blonde Bombsite, Lily Savage, or the presenter of the fantastically successful, award-winning Paul O'Grady Show on Channel 4. Now, in his own unique voice, Paul O'Grady tells story of his early life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead that started him on the long and winding road from mischievous altar boy to national treasure. It is a brilliantly evoked, hilarious and often moving tale of gossip in the back yard, bragging in the corner shop and slanging matches on the front doorstep, populated by larger-than-life characters with hearts of gold and tongues as sharp as razors. At My Mother's Knee features an unforgettable cast of rogues, rascals, lovers, fighters, saints and sinners - and one iconic bus conductress. It's a book which really does have something for everyone and which reminds us that, when all's said and done, there's a bit of savage in all of us...

paul o'grady at my mothers knees

I got this book for christmas and I just could not put it down, if I did it was not for long. I laughed laughed and laughed it was like as if Paul was reading it to me himself I could really hear his voice. The things he got up to in his chldhood and teens were the funniest I have read. As my family come from the Wirral (I still have two sister's living in Ellesmere Port) I could really relate to the area and it was if I had gone back home.
If you want a good laugh buy this book. All I have to say to Mr O'Grady is HURRY UP PAUL AND FINISH YOUR NEXT AUTO COS I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER - Good Luck xxx
