The Granny Alphabet [Walker, Tim, Hesketh-Harvey, Kit, Mynott, Lawrence] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Granny Alphabet Review: A new look at old Grannys! - I don't know who will enjoy this more -- the chuckling grandchildren or the grannies with a sense of humor, but there is something here for either or both. There may be some interpretation necessary when sharing with the kids, because there is definitely a British vocabulary at work- but the Granny photos are a sketch all by themselves and they will be fun to pass around among grandmothers - who hopefully won't recognize themselves in the definitely aged dames! This pair of books must be seen to be appreciated - truly beyond word description. Review: Fetching and Amusing - Beautiful graphics and the photos are hilarious and kind. Good on anybody's coffee table. I recommend both these volumes highly

A new look at old Grannys!

Great illustrations and wonderful pictures
Lovely book for the ones with a great sense of humor and creativity. The author did a great job in the illustrations and also with the pictures.

This is a keeper. Probably more for adults than kids. In fact, I bought it for my sister, who is 73. She loves it.

Enough Grannies for every taste!
I got the book for my sister, who (of course) loved it. Actually, its two books with one full of photography and the other full of illustrations. I liked the illustrations better...the photography evoked the negative side of aging IMHO. But my sister loved both...so there you go. Definitely fun!

Es uno de los libros más bonitos que he tenido nunca, completamente enamorada! Todo esta hecho con mucha ternura y las fotografías y estilismos son excelentes. Recomendable 100%

Un libro davvero unico nel suo genero. La capacità di Tim Walker di lavorare sull'immagine e l'immaginario è notevole e in questo caso riesce pienamente nell'obbiettivo. Nonne eleganti e piene di fascino come mai erano state viste prima. Il secondo volume del cofanetto presenta delle graziose, ma a mio parere inutili, illustrazioni di lawrence Mynott.

歳を重ねるって素敵だな、と自分がそうなった時の事を考えるとワクワクする写真とイラストはTim Walkerのセンスが光っています。お婆ちゃんたちのファッションにはこれまでの人生が詰まっていてスタイリングがどの方も最高です。ハードカバー2冊が美しい色のボックスケースに入っていて飾っていても絵になります。
