First Edition
Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. In this unconventional memoir Sir Giles Shaw illustrates why he was regarded, both in Yorkshire and in Parliament, as one of the great wits of his generation. This is a thoroughly entertaining book featuring a series of light-hearted tales, both amusing and astute, which will captivate even the least political of readers. He recounts the way he learned about politics and public speaking at his mother's knee. This was only natural, given that she was the first female County Councillor for the North Riding of Yorkshire and an ardent thespian. Boarding school. National Service and Cambridge University further encouraged his desire.to inform and entertain - as illustrated by some highly amusing speeches and ditties from his time as President of the Cambridge Union. After briefly describing tales from his early career as Marketing Director at Rowntree Mackintosh with responsibilities for Kit Kat and After Eight, Sir Giles moves on to relate the major events of his political career as MembeI of Parliament for Pudsey and a Minister in the Thatcher government. Tales of the first Water Strike, the Miner's Strike, falling orders at the shipyards and a car industry in decline are all told with an original mixture of sensitivity and fun. This book. published posthumously, is a great tribute to a wise and witty Yorkshireman. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xv + 160. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
