Lewes, East Sussex: The Book Guild, 1986. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on front endpaper with a quotation from Wordsworth and date in her hand. The author has often played walk on parts in television programmes and also in film commercials and posed for stills photographers as a character model. This is her FIRST BOOK based on her own experiences and is an hilarious tale of life in the hospital wards with Colostomy Jane taking centre stage, riding her bed pan with panache. She finally wins through against all operational odds to return to the bosom of her family, although bowled over by her prolonged hospitalisation. Her anecdotes offer a ready antidote for hypochondria and therapeutic treatment for those who find the whole subject of illness too unsavoury to stomach. A1C. Signed by Author. First Edition.
