'Affectionately designed and far more amusing than it needs to be. Someone has put a lot of effort into making the top tips, romantic short stories and counterfeit "middle-aged totty" pictures really work.' (Daily Telegraph )
'Updates the famous [Jackie] mag for middle-aged women, in a format which is both clever and funny' (The Independent on Sunday )

Format:Hardcover
If you remember the seventies and had pictures of David Cassidy/Donny Osmond etcetera on your wall then you cannot miss this. I bought a copy for a friend after seeing Jenny Eclair talking about it on TV. I'm afraid it took me forever to wrap it up as I kept reading bits of it and laughing myself silly. In the end, I had to apologise for the rather thumbed appearance of the book. I finally handed it over to my friend who laughed just as much as I did when she read it. She and I have subsequently both bought more copies for friends and I finally received my own as a gift from my sister; she wants one of her own now! In "Wendy: The Bumper Book of Fun for Women of a Certain Age", Jenny Eclair and Judith Holder offer original, witty, spot-on observations and a celebration of all women of a certain age. It is guaranteed to cheer you up when all else is getting you down. Plus, see George Clooney as you've never seen him before!

Disappointing!
Ordered with great expectation as I adore the humour of Jenny Eclair. However, was greatly disappointed when I received it. Didn't laugh at any of it. Read more

Wendy The Bumper Book of Fun for Women of a Certain Age
The idea for this book might have been good when the author was crying into her glass of wine and lamenting her lost youth. Read more

A great laugh!
Definitely for women over a certain age with a wicked sense of humour!! Loads of laughs. Can pick it up time and again - cheers you up on a dreary day!

Hilarious and spot on!
I bought this for a friend and dipping into to it led to reading it from cover to cover. It was an absolute scream and I could so identify with caricatures in myself and others. Read more
