My Book of Treasures

A Sunday Times bestseller from British icon Dame Joanna Lumley, now in paperback for the first time.

'I welcome you with open arms to My Book of Treasures.' Joanna Lumley

Over the years, Joanna Lumley has kept private notebooks - filled with favourite writings, thoughts and quotes that have moved, amused or delighted her. Now, for the first time, she opens her Book of Treasures to share them with readers.

This joyful, escapist collection brings together the lines of her favourite authors - from Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson - alongside pearls of wisdom, nuggets of trivia and miscellanea, all interspersed with Joanna's own warm and witty narration. The wistful keeps company with the acerbic; the sincere slips in besides the absurd. The result is a jewel box of pure pleasure and glorious wit: a book to keep coming back to and a journey inside the mind of one of the most loved and entertaining figures of our time.
