Dear Fatty
Author: Dawn French
Reader: Liza Tarbuck
List price: £16.99
Publisher: Random House Audiobooks
Format: CD-Audio
A GOOD STORY is guaranteed with this biography of one of Britain's most popular and best-loved comediennes - Dawn French. French is one of the greatest comedy actresses of our time, wtih a career that has spanned nearly three decades, encompassing a vast and brilliant array of characters. Loved for her irreverant humour, Dawn has achieved massive mainstream success while continuing to push boundaries and challenge stereotypes. Here, in her autobiography, she describes the twists and turns of the journey that would eventually establish her as a, perhaps unlikely - but nevertheless genuine, national treasure. As the Daily Mail said: "What an odd book this is: an eccentric mixture of candour and mugging to the gallery. Which is, come to think of it, probably a faithful representation of what it is like to be Dawn French."

Come September
Author: Arundhati Roy
List price: £10.00
Publisher: AK Press
Format: CD-Audio
THE GUARDIAN SAID of this nonfiction title: "Unimpressed with the Quercus recording of Speeches That Changed the World - only two of them, FDR's and JFK's inauguration addresses, really did - I wondered if a comparatively low-key lecture by an award-winning author turned human rights campaigner would touch my stony heart. It did. She fights for villagers against multinationals and for peace. "We're being asked to believe," she says wryly, "that the US marines are actually on a feminist mission to liberate Afghan women from their burkhas." To change the world you must cut the crap. Roy's knife is sharp." Praise indeed.
