Synopsis

Ideal fathers, cruel fathers, imagined fathers, puffed-up with pride fathers, noble fathers, and humanly flawed fathers, loving fathers, exasperated fathers. Literature is full of these but nobody, until Louise Guiness, has dared to collect them in one book. This anthology considers the whole range of experience from the amazed joy of new fathers to the pains of bereavement, from the comic, eccentric Papa to the sinister and silent Dad. Fatherhood is universal, yet intensely personal- this book contains the reflections of fathers across time, with extracts from the Bible to Beatrix Potter, from Homer to Chaucer to Yeats and Laurie Lee, Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Dickens to Sylvia Plath, E. Nesbit and Louis MacNeice. A delight to read, a collection to muse upon, and a perfect present to family members, everywhere.
