Tim Walker's photographs have been entrancing the readers of Vogue for over a decade, the V&A Museum and the NPG. Pour yourself a cuppa tea and join the journeys of Miss Marple-types eloping to Egypt in head-to-toe tartan or jetting off to Mars on a flying saucer. A special twinset collection of characterful photographs of real grannies accompanied by short, gently humorous verses by Kit Hesketh-Harvey. The volume is delightfully populated with Lawrence Mynott's drawings of lively old ladies - spirited, stylish, sweet like Lucinda with her hat addiction, Kitty whose knitting skills are second to none and our late Her Majesty the Queen. It is a whimsical vision of rose-printed, feline-filled arcadia where fur coats, tiny pooches, yummy cakes, walking sticks, glasses and grey hair are matched with great style in this alphabet with M for Mink and H for Hat etc. The book has a fashion photographer?s genius touch and beautiful shots of grannies doing things that they love with great style. A Thames & Hudson luxury publication, 148pp, 20.3 x 27cm, two volumes slipcased.
