Calendar Girls Book

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.Read More
