Paul Kelly is a uniquely gifted storyteller, and here, using his lyrics as starting points, he reads stories of his life and his songs, including 'Before Too Long', 'To Her Door', 'Leaps And Bounds', 'Don't Start Me Talking', 'Dumb Things', 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' and 'How To Make Gravy'. Mirroring the structure of his legendary A to Z shows - where he performs around a hundred of his songs alphabetically over four nights - Kelly describes the highs and lows of performing, the art of songwriting, being on the road with the band, tales of his childhood, family, friends and fellow musicians.

He is then joined by special guests on a bonus disc as some of Australia's finest actors - Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Judy Davis and Ben Mendelsohn -each read a selected chapter. Playful and honest, insightful and intimate, How to Make Gravy is an irresistible reflection on both the big and little things in life. This audiobook is the perfect present and perfect accompaniment to the How To Make Gravy book and The A-Z Recordings 8CD set. Over 18 hours unabridged on 16CDs (plus bonus dics), including his peerless lyrics read as unaccompanied poetry.
