Description
Once Upon A Christmas – Memories And Recipes From Your Favourite Celebrities was published in 1996 to raise money for the Childline charity and it’s got a real mix of people and writings in it.
As you’d expect, this book was very varied. The strangest celebrity inclusion was Mr Blobby. However this book was published when Blobbymania gripped the UK. Also included was a story from Jeannette Charles who is Her Majesty The Queen’s lookalike!
Enjoy Martin Jarvis’s memory of visiting a Father Christmas in Croydon with his son, or Doc Cox’s coining of the phrase “peppermint sheep” as a synonym for “Bah! Humbug!” Toyah Wilcox’s contribution ended beautifully with these words; “Christmas to me, is a place where I wish time itself would stand still and embrace us all, for ever, in that feeling of love, security and happiness”.
Truly a collection of stories, memories and recipes by well-known celebrities on the theme of Christmas. The contributors include Chris Tarrant, Phillip Schofield, Spike Milligan, Richard Branson, Terry Wogan and Prue Leith.
