The Hey Nonny Handbook
Harriman House
Hey Nonny is here!
- Waterstones Tunbridge Wells hosts local launch
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more…be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.
- Much Ado About Nothing, by William Shakespeare
Throw out those self-help books and draw on the rich vein of wisdom in fiction, biography, poetry and the wittiest commentators of the day. There's nowhere you've been that someone more articulate hasn't been before.
The Hey Nonny Handbook is about what happens to us all as we hit those tricky years after 40. Every woman needs a bit of Hey Nonny in her life. And if you don't know what it is, you definitely need it!
Published by Harriman House this summer, the book is the first in a new series of lifestyle guides from two Sussex authors. Using poetry and literary quotes, Julia and Janice hope that women everywhere will learn from their experiences and benefit from their words. From the power-dressed executive, to the mother in track pants mucking out the guinea pigs!
The authors came up with the idea while tramping across Ashdown Forest, home to Winnie the Pooh and the author A.A. Milne. Laced with the acid wit of The Independent's cartoonist Sally Ann Lasson, The Hey Nonny Handbook can be read on the beach, or kept close at hand on the kitchen shelf.
