Product Description

Product Description

If you were to write a letter to your 16-year-old self, what would it say?

In Dear Me, some of the world's best loved personalities have written just such a letter. Dear Me includes letters from three knights, a handful of Oscar winners, a bevy of Baftas, an intrepid explorer, a few teenage pop stars, an avid horticulturalist, pages and pages of bestselling authors, a dishy doctor, a full credit of film directors, a lovey of top actors, a giggle of comedians and an Archbishop! The letters range from the compassionate to the shocking via hilarity and heartbreak, but they all have one thing in common: they offer a unique insight into the teenager who would grow up to be.... Stephen Fry, Annie Lennox, Paul O'Grady, Jackie Collins, Fay Weldon, Alan Carr, Peter Kay, Debbie Harry, Brenda Blethyn , Jonathan Ross, Liz Smith, Will Young, Alison Moyet, Rosanne Cash, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Yoko Ono, Emma Thompson… to name but a few.

It is the PERFECT GIFT for your mum and dad, sister or brother, gran or granddad or someone who is a teenager, even turning 16

4.0 out of 5 stars What would YOU say to your younger self?, 28 Oct 2009
By John Masters (Norwich, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As the previous reviewer said, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry. But above all, it inspired me to write a letter to MY younger self.

I can relate to a lot of the celebrities in the book as they are people I have grown up seeing on screen. It makes you feel some affinity with them, especially as they seem to have had the same perils and fun times growing up as I did.

The only reason for giving four stars and not 5 is that some of the letters are handwritten and a little difficult to decipher.

5.0 out of 5 stars For everyone, 4 Nov 2009
By E. Ball (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Even if you've picked up this book just for one name you've excitedly spotted in amongst the sundry mass of contributors (from Trisha Goddard to Simon Callow), I guarantee you'll get sucked in and won't emerge until you've read every reassurance, scolding and tease directed over the imaginary bridge through time. Many of the letters delight in the idea of "predicting" our past selves' future (Julian Clary: "it's hard to swallow, but in a few years time you will swan around in black rubber consuming men like After Eight Mints") or else trying to change them (Danny Wallace: "buy shares in Google. That should sort just about everything out").

Just don't get involved in this on a philosophical level, or you'll wonder if the contributors really are imagining time travel or if they're just indulgently telling us, the readers, about their childhoods. Still, most (if not all) of them are playing along, meaning that there's some real snippets of sentiment. You'll be moved. You also might crack a rib laughing.
