Little Madam

Margaret has been sent upstairs again. And she’s not to come down from her room above the grocer’s shop in Grantham until she says sorry. But that’s all right. Because hidden in the toy chest is Teddy. And in the wardrobe is Jonathan. And under the bed is Cecil Parkinson. And so Margaret goes on a fantastical journey, transforming from the young Miss Roberts into the formidable Mrs Thatcher, in order to escape her past, reconcile her present, and prepare for her future. But will she be able to summon up the strength to apologise? And should she have to..?

An extraordinary flight of fancy through the political landscape of the late 20th Century, exploring the nature of sacrifice and the price of power as seen through the 12 year old eyes of Britain’s most divisive Prime Minister…
