'This huge, beautiful book is a treasure chest ... a collection so good, it's essential' The Times. 'A celebration of female writers with contributions from many of our favourites' Good Housekeeping. 'Beautiful ... glittering ... The scope is wide, rich and often unexpected ... it blows Bridget out of the water' Independent. '[This] has given me more pleasure this year than almost all the rest of my reading put together.' Mariella Frostrup. 'A rich feast.' Nigella Lawson.
