Once Upon a Grandma

The gentle story of a young girl's summer holidays with her grandparents and Pippy the Dog in their sixteenth-century house in the country. The overdue spring-cleaning has been done and an apparently routine visit to the beach has turned out rather unexpectedly. Tea and Shippam's meat paste sandwiches are on the trolley the grandfather clock ticks slowly in the hall and the Val Doonican Show is on Grandma's black-and-white television. If you ever feel nostalgic for a quieter simpler age you will enjoy this humorous comforting book. The ideal bedtime story for grownups!
