In recognition of her many achievements she received an OBE in 1970, became a DBE in 1988, and in 2005 was awarded a Companion of Honour. Review Wonderfully inspiring. A delightful spell in the company of one of our greatest and most thoughtful actresses * Daily Mail, Books of the Year *A magical love letter to Shakespeare * Kenneth Branagh *A wonderful mixture of appreciation and anecdote * Financial Times, Books of the Year *Its a mark of Denchs impish genius and OHeas deftness that it genuinely feels like youre sitting at her kitchen table with her. Its companionable and compelling – if you love Judi Dench or Shakespeare (and most of us do), look no further * Guardian *Gorgeous flows of recollection * Literary Review *An utterly delightful book…there can be few higher pleasures in civilised life than hearing Judi Dench recite the poetry of Shakespeare. What emerges is a wealth of unpretentious horse sense – Shakespeare from a great actors perspective – that repeatedly strikes to the heart of the matter with a sharp instinctive intelligence that puts fancy-pants literary critics to shame * Telegraph *This is a gloriously entertaining tour through the canon in the company of perhaps the most experienced living Shakespearean actor; reading it feels like a chat with an old friend. * Observer *The book is pure enchantment. It swirls and dances with brilliance and mischief, so forget traditional Shakespearean criticism and analysis. Sack the Eng. Lit. professors. As never before, this book brings the subject to wild, authentic life. * Daily Mail *A wonderful ode to the bard * I *Riveting, revealing and witty * Gazette and Herald * Details ISBN024163217X Author Judi Dench Publisher Penguin Books Ltd Year 2023 ISBN-10 024163217X ISBN-13 9780241632178 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-10-26 UK Release Date 2023-10-26 Imprint Michael Joseph Ltd Subtitle The Man Who Pays The Rent Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience General Pages 400 NZ Release Date 2023-11-25 DEWEY 792.028092 AU Release Date 2023-11-25 Alternative 9780241638200 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
