About this product

Product Information

'Why has it taken more than half a century for this wonderful flight of humor to be rediscovered?' - Guardian . 'The sweetest grown-up book in the world' - Sunday Times . 'Everyone, no matter how poor or prim or neglected, has a second chance to blossom in the world' - Daily Mail, in reference to Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day . A major film to be released in 2008 and starring Frances McDormand, Miss Pettigrew Lives for Day is a delightful, funny, lighthearted novel. First published in 1938, it was reissued in the United Kingdom in 2000, complete with thirty-five original illustrations, and has sold over 22,000 copies. Miss Pettigrew, an approaching-middle-age governess, was accustomed to a household of unruly English children.When her employment agency sends her to the wrong address, her life takes an unexpected turn. The alluring nightclub singer, Delysia LaFosse, becomes her new employer, and Miss Pettigrew encounters a kind of glamor that she had only met before at the movies. Over the course of a single day, both women are changed forever.Winifred Watson (1907-2002) grew up in Newcastle, and was a secretary until, in 1935, she married Leslie Pickering, the manager of a timber firm. She wrote six novels in all, but after the birth of her son in 1941 she stopped writing and lived quietly in Newcastle for the rest of her life.

  • A lovely day !

    This was a refreshing read. Written in the 1930s it was a joyful story and gave a poor governess to live the life of the rich for a day. It was beautifully written and let us in to the lives if those people. A bonus for me and many other people was that there was no bad language. I shall keep it and definitely read again.

  • A very good read

    'Miss Pettigrew lives for a day' is a beautifully written feel-good story. I read a library copy after seeing the book group discussion in The Guardian newspaper. I enjoyed it so much I bought this copy to have for future re-reading.
