This edition contains all the material in the original volumes of George, Don’t Do That and Stately as a Galleon, including the bloodthirsty ‘Ethel’ and the unforgettable nursery school monologues.

Reviews
Each one a highly individualistic character-study, not in the least resembling any other figure in the cavalcade. A series of perfect miniatures, etched in exquisite detail.
She had no image to preserve, no axe to grind, no future management to impress. This total lack of "angst" came across the footlights and engendered an atmosphere of extraordinary trust and love, so that audiences under her spell felt safe and cozy and somehow cherished.
'Very funny . . . Grenfell was one of the finest humorous writers and performers of the 20th century.'
