More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Fannie Flagg takes us on a journey to a South that only Southerners know, to a time when 'Blue Velvet' was played at the Senior Prom, and into the life of Daisy Fay Harper, a sassy, truth-telling heroine who just can't stay out of trouble. What's more she tells us everything - from what (or who) made her Daddy and Momma split up to what is really stashed in the freezer of the family's malt shop.
Daisy Fay is coming of age in the Gulf Coast's Shell Beach, which is The End of the Road of the South, but a dandy place to meet the locals like hard-drinking Jimmy Snow, former debutante Mrs Dot and Daisy's own Daddy. They're all part of the fun that takes us down home, back to the '50s, and into the best story ever written east of Texas...
About the Author
Fannie Flagg began writing and producing television specials at the age of nineteen, and went on to distinguish herself as an actress, novelist and scriptwriter. She starred on Broadway in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas in 1980, and appeared in films including Five Easy Pieces, Stay Hungry and Grease. She is the author of Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man, which spent ten weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, which became a worldwide bestseller, and was made into a much loved film with a prize-winning screenplay co-written by Flagg herself and, most recently, Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!. She lives in California.

Format:Paperback
Not many books get me laughing out loud, but this did in almost every chapter. After seeing the movie of 'Fried Green Tomatoes', I've since tried to read everything this lady has written. And I've loved all of them. Her honesty permeates throughout her books, and Daisy Fay is just so comical in her outlook and naivety, and the wonderful cast of characters around her are the work of a true artist!

Format:Paperback
Daisy fay and the miracle man is THE best book in the world. I first read it when I was 11 and have re-read it again and again for well over ten years. It's hilarious and will make you laugh until you cry. It's very difficult to put down because its full of one adventure after another. Daisy is a wonderful character, with a father somewhat like the hapless Al Bundy from 'Married with Children,'always getting her (and himself)into scrapes but with a heart of gold. It apeals to all ages. Treat yourself and buy it for the best read you'll ever have!

Format:Paperback
This book takes the form of a journal of a young girl. She records the details of her life as a child through to early adulthood. It is a beautiful, yet sad book. Her circumstances and the people in her life could leave her embittered but she never loses her innocent charm and acceptance of all that life holds. As is typical when we see things through the eyes of a child, there are loads of really funny moments but many others that will make you weep.
