The ultimate pick-me-up to save you from the nine-to-five heartbreak blues.

The Little Guide to Dolly Parton is your bible of devastating Dolly-isms. Yes, that’s right, the most iconic and acclaimed female country singer in the history of music is so inventive and brilliant with her clever wisecracks and sage advice that popular culture has crowned her with an -ism after her name. No one else is as worthy.

For more than five decades, Dolly has been laying down her own brand of whip-smart wit and wisdom to the world, with many quotes and quips becoming as famous as her lyrical genius, for which she has won too many song writing awards and honours to mention. Stacked to the rafters with more than 150 bite-size bon-mots, one-liners and ripostes – as well profound and sincere observations – The Little Guide to Dolly Partonis your new favourite life companion.

‘I never think of myself as a star because, as somebody once said, “A star is nothing but a big ball of gas” – and I don’t want to be that.’
