Full review
I discovered Deric Longden after several of his books had already been published. After reading them, ´A Play on Words´ came out in hardback, and I just couldn´t wait until the paperback edition. I had to read it, and I was not disappointed.
In ´A Play on Words´, Deric describes Dame Thora Hird´s incarnation of his mother - a true original - in the TV version of his book ´Lost for Words´. Dame Thora comes across as a wonderful character in her own right, especially when she tells Deric to get on with finishing the script, as she won´t live forever!
But as ever with a Longden, the cats are the stars of the book, and any cat-lover should have this on their shelf, along with the rest of his works. It is guaranteed to have you falling about laughing.
