Did you ever wonder what has happened to gas mantles and chimney pieces, or why people don't go 'courting' anymore? In her new book, Thora Hird takes us on a trip down memory lane to the world as it was before the Second World War. In her usual warm, chatty and anecdotal style, she reminds us of all those words, objects and expressions that have gone out of modern usage and illustrates them with a plethora of funny stories from her own early years. Thora looks back at domestic life, the theatre, going to church, growing up before the war, working in shops, and, never forgetting her true Morecambe roots, the hustle and bustle of the northern seaside town.

Not in the Diary

By: Thora Hird

This entertaining, thoughtful memoir, read by Dame Thora herself, is a fitting tribute to her later years and witness to two of her greatest talents--the ability to tell a story and her determination to stay on top of life. She reflects on her past and shares behind-the-scenes stories, from glamorous engagements to domestic and family commitments--the material that never finds its way into the diary of events.
