The Great Big Glorious Book for Girls

Rosemary Davidson

A glorious and utterly comprehensive celebration of girlhood

Homemade fudge, pom-poms, French cricket . . . The Great Big Glorious Book for Girls will take women back to a time when we made coconut ice with our grandmothers, when girls weren't obsessed by all things pink, when they didn't wear 'hot to trot' T-shirts aged eight and when a bit of sticky-backed plastic and a tissue box could be the answer to your dreams.

Perfect for mothers, grandmothers, aunts and godmothers (as well as daughters, granddaughters, nieces and goddaughters, of course), this is a book for all women who secretly, or not so secretly, loved playing French elastics, dream of making elderflower cordial and need reminding of how to play cat's cradle.

Rosemary Davidson is currently a Senior Commissioning Editor at Bloomsbury Publishing and a translator of children's books. Born in the middle of nowhere in rural Northern Ireland, she and her three sisters spent much of their childhood making their own amusement and
mischief . . .

Now living in London with her eleven-year old daughter, Florence, and eight-year-old son, Spike, she is well-versed in the needs, wants and whims of modern girls.
