Author:BBC,Joyce Grenfell,Maureen Lipman
Hats Off is the delightful reading by Maureen Lipman of a selection of poems by Joyce Grenfell. Known and loved for her inimitable songs and monologues, Joyce Grenfell's first earnings came from her poetry, which she wrote throughout her life. These poems are full of the wit and observation that are the hallmarks of the monologues that made her name. They are perceptive, witty, and amusing and a great reminder of a very talented lady. This collection also features an introduction by Janie Hampton, a close friend of Grenfell's and author of numerous books.
