The Wisdom of Call the Midwife

Being a registered nurse, as well as an Episcopal (Anglican) priest for 31 years, watching "Call the Midwife" has become 'holy time' for me. It opens my soul. This new book is EXACTLY what I have been hoping for; waiting for, in terms of all those precious words and moments which come from very beginning of every episode to the very end. I can only say "Thank You ! " I will cherish this book for ever.

Many lovely photos

Photos are great, but I was expecting less of those and more of the heartwarming quotes like those from Miss Redgrave said at the beginning of each episode. One review, appearing below, aye that the reviewer has been writing down those inspiring words. Wish I'd done that as well. Could a book filled with Miss Redgraves quotes be compiled and published. I'm sure it coulf, because they are written in the scripts. This book is beautiful don't get me wrong. But. All of the above . . .

This book is a treasure!

I have enjoyed the eleven seasons of Call the Midwife and watch the episodes again and again. The phrases at the beginning and end are so moving I often stop my dvd to write them down. While not all are included, the many lines from the Midwifes are memorable. This book is a treasure.

Not what we expected and took more than 2 months to arrive.

We were expecting the beautiful thought-provoking voiceover lines from the closing of each episode. It’s a collection of various characters lines. The book is good but could have been so much more.
