‘One of the most brilliantly observed testimonies to working-class life I’ve ever read’
Daily Mirror

Paul O’Grady is one of Britain’s very best loved entertainers. He is known and adored by millions as the creator of the acid-tongued Blonde Bombsite, Lily Savage and the presenter of the fantastically successful, award-winning Paul O’Grady Show on Channel 4.

Now, in his own unique voice, Paul tells the story of his early life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead and his first steps on the long and winding road from mischievous altar boy to national treasure. It is a hilarious tale of gossip in the back yard, bragging in the corner shop and slanging matches on the front doorstep, populated by larger-than-life characters with hearts of gold and tongues as sharp as razors. Meet Paul in some of his earliest roles as boxer, civil servant, barman, cat-burglar and enthusiastic denizen of Liverpool’s nightclub scene.

At My Mothers Knee is a book which really does contain something for everyone and which reminds us that, when all’s said and done, there’s a bit of savage in all of us...
