About this listen
Friday Night Dinner and Timewaster Letters creator Robert Popper's new book of brilliantly funny letters, from Britain's oldest letter writer.
'I laughed till I cried' DAISY MAY COOPER'
'Robert Popper is not only certifiably one of the Funniest People in the World™, but also the loveliest 104-year-old woman you could ever hope to meet. Hilarious' 'WEIRD AL' YANKOVIC
'I howled with laughter' MATT LUCAS
At 104 years of age, Mrs Elsie Drake of Granville Gardens, London, is the sixth oldest woman in Britain. But fed up with sitting in her armchair all day, Elsie is ready for new adventures. And so, armed with a computer she can barely operate, she fires off dozens of letters to everyone from the Prime Minister to Greggs Bakeries, to see if they can help.
Whether offering her services as the new Arsenal football mascot dressed as a giant hare, or simply sending Sainsbury's a load of meat, no one can escape the clutches of Elsie Drake.
Gloriously funny and ridiculously silly, The Elsie Drake Letters is also a testament to the wonderful kindness and good humour of the British public. Just wait till you read the replies...
'One of Britain's great comedy minds is at it again' AISLING BEA
'A treasure trove of funny. I loved it' BOB ODENKIRK
'Sweetness, surrealism and hilarity. . . Sheer letter-writing brilliance' PATTON OSWALT

The character is charming and borderline believable and the wit of the letters had me cackling all the way through!
I hope there'll be future books by the author as it was so enjoyable. From a nearly 49 year old woman and probably the 30 millionth oldest person in the country as I write this review. I hope to send Mr. Popper 5 pounds in the post as I enjoyed his beautiful voice......
