The World was my Lobster tells the story of George Cole's more than 70 years in the acting profession that began with a walk-on part at the age of 14 in the stage musical The White Horse Inn in 1939, & continues today having included such roles as David Bliss in the radio & television versions of A Life of Bliss, Flash Harry in the St. Trinian's films, & Arthur Daley in television's Minder.

Adopted when he was only 10 days old, George Cole grew up in south London in the 1920s. On the day he left school he saw a newspaper advertisement seeking a small boy to join the cast of The White Horse Inn & was selected the following day. A year later, he found himself in the West End play Cottage to Let playing a cheeky wartime evacuee. Here he met legendary comic actor Alastair Sim who, with his wife, took him as an evacuee in their country house & coached him in the finer skills of acting.

It was in 1979 that he landed the role that would elevate him to international recognition when he was offered the role of Arthur Daley in Thames Television's new series Minder alongside Dennis Waterman. In The World was my Lobster, a title taken from a classic line in a Minder episode, George Cole talks candidly, humorously & sensitively about his adoption, his life, his roles & many of the people he has worked with throughout his long career.

Ideal for George Cole fans.

George Kranky's Grandma is a miserable grouch. George really hates that horrid old witchy woman. One Saturday morning, George is in charge of giving Grandma her medicine. So-ho! Ah-ha! Ho-hum! George knows exactly what to do. A magic medicine it will be. One that will either cure her completely.. .or blow off the top of her head. ...

The rule would be this: whatever George saw, if it was runny or powdery or gooey, in it went... George Kranky's grandma is a grouch. She's always mean to George (and not much nicer to his parents either). One day, when George is put in charge of giving Grandma her medicine, he wonders if he can come up with his own remedy to try & help Grandma become less of a grump. Using some rather unusual ingredients, George creates his magic medicine*. But will it stop his grandma from being so horrible... or will it shoot sparks out of the top of her head?! *WARNING: Do NOT try to make George's Marvellous Medicine yourselves at home. It is likely to be extremely dangerous. Product Information:  •†ISBN:†9780241558485 •†Author:†Roald Dahl •†Publisher:†Puffin •†Format:†  Paperback •†Pages: 160 •†Dimensions:†20.3 x 13.3 x 1.54cm ...
