The hugely successful, frank, forthright, no-holds-barred story of one of Australia's few genuine, larger-than-life, enduring legends, Maggie Tabberer.
'Delving into the pages of Maggie is rather like straying into her boudoir.'
-Jane Fraser, Weekend Australian
'She has been role model, taste guru, and surrogate media guardian for many Australians. Her beauty, glamour, creamy voice, remarkable communication skills, and down home wisdom-rooted in true-blue earthiness-with just a hint of the larrikin-make her a living icon.'
-Andrew Clark, The Age
'From humble beginnings to fashion pinnacle. An uncut, uncowed Tall Poppy.'
-Harper's Bazaar
