Book description
Ideal fathers, cruel fathers, puffed-up-with-pride fathers, horribly
and humanly flawed fathers: this wonderful anthology contains a whole
range of experience from the amazed joy of new fatherhood, to the pains
of bereavement, from the comic and eccentric Papa to the sinister and
silent Dad. Louise Guinness has collected irresistible extracts spanning
nearly three thousand years, from Homer and the Bible to present day,
from Chaucer to Beatrix Potter, Rabelais to Seamus Heaney.
