Or to put it another way, Dawn French has written a new book, A Tiny Bit Marvellous, in which she brings her wit to bear on a modern family, the Battles, who together lurch towards meltdown under one roof.
She has also recorded a video interview on the book’s Amazon page, together with a letter to that website’s customers.
In the video she discusses the writing process, including brushing up on Oscar Wilde and becoming Barbara Cartland, with six surprised readers.
The book follows French’s autobiographical outing, Dear Fatty, in 2008 and is her first novel.

Pam--any book or CD can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk for shipping to the U.S.; for media items (books, CDs, DVDs), I find the shipping to be quite reasonable. For DVDs, you have to have a region-free (or region-zero) DVD player (available from Amazon.COM, in the U.S.), but CDs obviously work worldwide, and books, of course, do too :-) I purchase things from Amazon.co.uk all the time--and I'm in Massachusetts.
It takes only a week to get to you, too--that's the amazing thing (perhaps more if you're further west than where I am).
