About this item

The story of the Alternative W.I. Calendar (better known to most as the "Naked Ladies Calendar") by Miss October, Tricia Stewart, whose idea it was.;John Baker's death from cancer devastated his friends in the small Yorkshire village of Cracoe. During his illness Tricia Stewart had joked with him about creating an "alternative" W.I. calendar - she and his wife Angela were members - and after his death they were determined to continue and give the proceeds to leukaemia research. Eleven mature women posed wearing nothing but a string of pearls and smiles. The result was a two-year rollercoaster ride as the ladies became international stars.;In "Calendar Girl", Tricia Stewart writes honestly about the whole experience; the courage and strength of Angela, the strain that fame has placed on friendships and family, being doorstepped by the tabloid press, but above all the positive transforming effect the calendar has had on their lives.

Oxfam Bookshop St Albans

Oxfam is the UK's largest second hand bookseller, but it doesn't stop there. We sell a great range of donated music as well. Whether it's vintage LPs or the latest modern fiction you want, we're well worth a look! We also sell greetings cards for every occasion. And of course we have some great stock for sale on Oxfam's Online Shop, too. Call us to find out more.

Could you help us by collecting donations from donors homes? Our shop receives many offers of generous donations that we have to turn down as we do not have volunteers able to collect. We would ask you to collect in your own car, at your convenience and reimburse your petrol costs. It might be a couple of times a month and would make a really big difference to our ability to make money.
