Reviews

The perfect gift for festive season fans

—— Telegraph

Brimming with baubles of Christmas fact and bedecked with snippets of festive tradition

—— The Field

A joyous celebration of booze.

—— Tom Bruce-Gardyne , Herald

Cleo and her book make you feel happy drunk before you've even had a sip.

—— Keith Lemon

Drink hilariously and without hangover. Soak up this life-changing handbook of glee. It's magnificent.

—— Derren Brown

A thoroughly enjoyable ramble through a diverse selection of topics which range from dogs of war and dog fighting to presidential pets and choosing the right name... In turn serious, funny, sad and light-hearted; it's a perfect mixture which is just right for the bedside table

—— Karen Bush , Your Dog

Stourton is a genuinely warm and engaging writer who clearly loves his canine companion, despite his (relatively few) faults, and this little book is a tasty treat for dog owners and dog lovers

—— Bookgeeks.co.uk

Delightful… Juxtaposes the lives of two figures who most shaped [Volk’s] views of what a woman could and should be. Both women were opinionated, secretive, imposing, hot-tempered, charismatic and crazy about clothes… Ms. Volk is thoroughly likeable, warm and generous, with a well-tuned ear and a vivid sense of humour.’

—— Washington Post

Pure joy... A diptych portrayal of Patricia Volk's gorgeous and infuriating mother and the great fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, this is an irresistible tour de force that puts on display Volk's intelligence, wit and sparkling prose.

—— Louis Begley
