From the team who brought you the best-selling Hey Nonny Handbook, an inspiring literary guide to the teenage years.

Things not to worry about:
Don't worry about growing up
Don't worry about popular opinion
Don't worry about boys
Don't worry about parents
Don't worry about disappointments
Don't worry about failure unless it comes through your own fault.

F.Scott Fitzgerald in a letter to his daughter; Maryland, 1933

Anthology - Hey Nonny

The leaves are falling, falling as from far as though above were withering farthest gardens; they fall with a denying attitude.
And night by night, down with solitude, the heavy earth falls far from every star.
We are all falling. This hand's falling too - all have this falling-sickness none withstands.
And yes there's One whose gently-holding hands this universal falling can't fall through.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Daphne Nightingale's Lament & other monologues

'Disgrace must be worse when you are a public figure. Mind you, the ladies at the coffee morning were on to me just like the papparazzi. They said, 'Was it the worry of sons that had caused my blackout?'

Learning to Fly

Enough

There are people for whom
Nothing is enough.
You could cut yourself in half
And serve yourself up.

They would say, The flavour�s not quite right.
They would say, The sauce needs truffles.
You should have studied cordon bleu
And learned the soft-shoe shuffle.
