More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Stairlift to Heaven (The journal of an OAP.) Although this book is written by an old age pensioner, non-coffin dodgers should not be put off. Everyone will be old someday, and there are valuable lessons in coping with old age to be learned here. Written by Terry Ravenscroft, former scriptwriter to Les Dawson, The Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise. Stairlift to Heaven has been likened by one reviewer to be 'Like Last of the Summer Wine on cocaine' Review by Pauline R for Readers Favorite. Stairlift to Heaven is an irreverent, hilarious look about one man's life after retirement. He pokes fun at everything, no one and nothing is spared including how to silence the neighbour's barking dog, telephone salespeople and Christmas carolers. His long suffering wife, known as 'The Trouble', provides a perfect foil of sanity against the mad antics of the author and his friend Atkins. Like a grumpy old man on funny pills Terry punctures the ridiculousness of life. A particular favorite is a visit to a faith healer and an examination of the concept of a Nuclear Free Zone. There is enough in "Stairlift to Heaven" to keep the whole world laughing.

I'm working my way the the works of Terry Ravenscroft and have just completed this one - not one moment of disappointment is to be found, another hilarious book with some added poignancy amongst the great stories. Now moving onto Captain's Day and a clean pair of pants!

Another exceptional read from Terry Ravenscroft. I could not put this book down, had me laughing out loud and receiving some odd looks! I have also read Dear Coca Cola and Dear Air 2000 and couldn't stop laughing.... :))

I haven't read anything by Terry Ravencroft before, however I now plan to read everything he's ever written! This man is comedy genius - I laughed so much I couldn't read through the tears! His hints and tips on how to deal with telesales and junk mail made me smile - I deploy similar tactics myself - however the best stories are; paralympic zimmer frame, new year goose and swimming lessons! I would recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humour.

slightly disappointing
I don't know why but I just did not enjoy this book as much as I did Terry's more fictional work. This book takes the form of diary entries made by Terry over a five year period... Read more
