What People Say About The Book
'Fave book of the year. Ace... I laughed lots and cried twice.'
'Glorious. Brutal, tragic, funny.'
'...one of the most exciting new literary talents of 2009.'
'Cattermole… has been described as one of the hottest literary talents of 2009. And his book is every bit as good as his blog….'
- Sky News
'...I enjoy reading Stan Cattermole’s writing as much as I enjoy Mark Twain and Charles Dickens and Kurt Vonnegut. In fact, I have rarely read anything more painfully humorous and delightfully moving.'
In a nutshell..
- La Bête
- I am a good man - loving and funny and true - wrapped in the body of a brutal, brutal mess. I also have a face like a bag of elbows. This is my curse. If you see me limping down a London street, do not judge me - because you do not know me. Just give me a smile, or if that proves too difficult, please try to look away without wincing. It really is the least you can do.

"Tarzan and Nancy Drew: Doomed From the Start". Started as a paperback, but more famous as Lifetime Made for TV movie, starring Valerie Bertinelli as the mother ape, and Harry Hamlin as Tarzan, the incompetent loverboy.
Those girls are saying (from left to right):
"How tedious - she's blubbing again, isn't she?"
"Hmmm? Oh yes, it appears she is. So quaint."
And I reckon it's a short story from the Girls' Fun Annual, 1957.
Daisyfae, yes! You've nailed it! Or at least, you would have, if there were any justice in the world. Sadly, there is not.
Neither, Sudders, is it Girls' Fun Annual, 1957. Close though.
Girls' Own?
I had a few of these as a kid, passed on from my mum, but I've only got one left and I've forgotten what the others were called.
