Item description from seller

Demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full pictorial cloth sans dust jacket, unpaginated. Illustrated withcolour and b-w halftone plates. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. , The publisher's blurb notes: "Artist-photographer Tim Walker has won a cult following for his flamboyant, lavishly staged, and surrealist fashion photography. Now he brings his unique brand of very British fantasia to a subject close to all our hearts: grandmothers. The first volume of this very special twinset offers a collection of characterful photographs of grannies and the things nearest to each of them, arranged alphabetically and accompanied by short, gently humorous verses by Kit Hesketh-Harvey. The second volume is delightfully populated with Lawrence Mynott’s drawings of lively old ladies. Spirited, stylish, sweet—here are granny archetypes of every stripe. You’ll find Lucinda, whose hat addiction shows no sign of waning, and Kitty, whose knitting skills are second to none. You might even meet the Queen—the most famous British granny of all". . The New York Times blurbed: "With its array of octogenarian subjects clad in nubby cardigans, sensible shoes, croc handbags and whimsical hats — not to mention a still life of fake teeth and the pattern from a plastic polka-dotted rain bonnet used as the book’s endpaper — The Granny Alphabet takes a droll view on aging". — In exceptionally good condition. …
