Product Description
From the Author
celebrities reveal their "little luxuries"
"life's little luxuries" is small and compact, a great little coffee table book (or a stocking filler), it contains the "little luxuries" of the likes of Prime Minister Tony Blair, HRH Princess Margaret, the "Ab Fab" Joanna Lumley, Judi Dench ("Mrs. Brown" and "M"), rocker Billy Idol and Musketeer Michael York . . . among others.

Entrepreneur and balloonist Richard Branson's "little luxury" is a game of tennis with his neighbour. Honor Blackman, a former Bond girl, loves to be wrapped in a soft warm towel after a bath. Spy writer John le Carre enjoys baked beans with Worcester sauce and tabasco on white bread with OODLES of butter. Former PM Margaret Thatcher enjoys reading - Rudyard Kipling's poems or Charles Dickens. Glamour model Jerry Hall loves angel perfume.
"LLL" (as it's affectionately known) comprises 120 little luxuries of the famous and infamous. They're all different. There are some themes involving baths, free days and . . . avocados! But they all share the same criteria. They're all "inexpensive, accessible to everyone and, in some way, life enhancing." And they all reveal a little something about the contributor.
ALL the money - that's "every single penny" - from the sale of "LLL" goes to a UK charity called Whizz-kidz which provides wheelchairs and mobility aids to non-mobile children.
And just in case you're wondering my "little luxury" is "books, books, books."

This review is from: Life's Little Luxuries (Paperback)
A great little book that Nicola and I enjoyed putting together. Throughout the whole process of producing the book I was constantly surprised by the support we received from our celebrity contributors. All credit to them for writing such moving, witty and relevant entries. I think my favorite part of the book has to be the humorous cartoons produced for each Little Luxury, every one a gem.

This review is from: Life's Little Luxuries (Paperback)
A charming pocket book packed with pleasant reminders of the soothing possibilities of simplicity. No matter, that as an American, I don't know most of the contributors. It's clear that the rewards of hot baths and chocolates are universal. And all for a great cause as well.

This review is from: Life's Little Luxuries (Paperback)
I found Life's Little Luxuries to be fun, inspiring, and surprising. The book makes a perfect little gift any time of year. I live in the United States, and would love to see the author interview people in my country as well, to read how our answers might differ. A clever idea. We need more books like these that celebrate the simple joys in life during such stressful, fast-paced times.
