“There are three things that Children will happily share . . . . Nasal mucus secretions. Animal excrement deposits on their shoes. The precise age of their parents.” Mummy Says...Daddy Says introduces the reader to the surreal world of Jules Ede, an author fortunate enough to have resided on the affluent border of South West London and Surrey for the past fourteen years. Having had the opportunity to observe and analyse family life of its more comfortable residents and their privileged offspring from several different aspects, he attempts to sketch an authentic but affectionate caricature of some of these parents and their children by using a canvas of some scenarios that they might well be experiencing in their everyday lives. Stencilled sparingly between some of these portraits are a few choice quotations from children about their nurturers, and alternatively from parents about their beloved offspring that prove to be entertaining and a glimpse through the window of society’s anomalies. The illustrations contained within the pages are completely original and echo those that might appear in Ladybird Adult Humour books. Existing parents will appreciate the humour and entirely accurate portraits depicting the beautiful and often embarrassing things our children say.

But there was nothing that Morag could do . . . except continue to fight for custody of the child she loved so much. When their relationship ended, Jasmine's parents argued bitterly about her future. But they were unable to come to an amicable agreement, and a UK court ruled that the case be heard in the US, the home of Jasmine's father. Fearing that she would lose her child, Morag fled from Texas with her daughter, only to be hauled back in shackles and incarcerated in a grim American prison. When Morag was eventually freed and awarded custody of her little girl, she thought her nightmare was over. However, back in the UK, every move she made was watched and every mistake recorded. Morag sank into deep depression and became lost in a haze of alcohol and drugs. The once beautiful and desirable young woman found her life spiralling out of control. Eventually, she lost the daughter she had fought so hard to keep. Mummy, Take Me Home is the gripping and disturbing true-life story of a tug of love that no mother should ever face and no child should be forced to endure.
