Mrs. Brown's A to Y of Everything

by Brendan O'Carroll

Mrs. Brown's A to Y of Everything is Brendan O'Carroll's hilarious follow-up to the bestselling Mrs. Brown's Family Handbook.


If there's one Mammy in the world who knows what's what, it's Mrs. Brown. Here, Agnes, star of the incredibly popular TV show Mrs. Brown's Boys, and the much anticipated Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie, follows up her bestselling Mrs. Brown's Family Handbook with an A to Y (who really needs 'Z's anyway?) of modern life.


In it, Agnes explores everything from pandas to piles, from biscuits to The Big Bang and from handwriting to hairdryers. Peppered with her inimitable humour and full of hilarious photos, the A to Y of Everything is to your Christmas stocking what sausages are to a toad-in-the-hole.

A to Y creatively and hilariously with Mrs. Brown and her loved ones (and Hilary).

My View:
One for the fans.

I have found the perfect gift for my mum for Christmas this year – she is a big fan of the TV series Mrs Brown’s Boys and I know this will delight and amuse her; some light comedic reading with characters she already loves.

For some laugh out loud moments check out The Biscuit Zodiac (p.40) and Dreams (p.77) – Fig.2 Interpreting Your Dreams :) And this little pearl of wisdom that I should ad heed (p.118) - Handwriting – Handwriting should be clear and readable, especially to yourself.:)

This was a wonderful collection of photos, jokes in the Brendan O'Carroll style and acute observation of society. I loved it.
