Fidelis's Childhood Picture Book


With my Mama in the front room at a week old	Me and Mama	Trying out hairstyles for Gone With the Wind?	A typical 1950s celebration


Sitting on the sofa	With Mama and Nanny - Gunter the Great Dane	On board a ship to Ireland	With grandfather Morgan and Puck, our Irish donkey


After the car accident which left me with a split eyebrow	With Gunter	Cooking with sand in the back yard of the new house	Preparing to be Alice Cooper with my father


On my first film set - it was Vanity Fair or Quality Street, can't quite remember	Feeding the goat up by the train line	In Ireland with Mama	Learning pan pipes - "I'd rather be a nitwit than a twat - oh yes I would..." NB The split eyebrow


Cooking in Dublin with my Aunty Maude	Feeding the pigeons in Trafalgar Square	Mama attempts to teach me to pray	Reading an American comic


At an early age I was terrified by an aging paedophile in a none too convincing beard	More cooking with sand	With my father in Ireland NB My checked trousers - clearly influenced by my uncle who had just moved to Canada	I force my father to read to me. PS Anyone guess where I got the idea for Sir Peter?


My 8th birthday party. Number 8 was of great significance to me as I was born on the 8th of the 8th at 8 mins past 8 and weighed 8 lb 8oz. It HAD to be a pirate party.	With Morgan on the Main. Captain of the Pirates	What a gorgeous cake. I always chose rainbow sponge with green icing and red writing. I think if I made it as off-putting as possible there would be lots left over for me	Ever ready to play the part in as subtle a way as possible!


I take care of the boys while my mother gets something exciting from a van. A marvellous 1950's study - those boys' haircuts	I take to semi-naked donkey-driving in Ireland	I give the horse a drink. It was at about this time I also fed the car. Sorry that it had not had anything for days, I put several bananas into the petrol tank. Parents not impressed with my kindness.	Perplexed about letting a stranger play with my donkey


My maternal grandfather. What is the strange St Elmo's Fire coming out of the ground behind him?	Happy with my politically incorrect toys	Watching TV - and clearly not as frightened as the others. What could it have been? Champion the Wonder Horse? Whirlybirds? Circus Boy? Mr Ed?	Tata!

From Buddha to the Beatles from the Code of the Hammurabi to Hitler, from The Bible to The Sun, there are quotes on every aspect of femininity. Fidelis has played the authors against one another, finding unlikely neighbours.
