The book is described as “the up-close and personal story of Call the Midwife, as told by the cast and crew who made it into the iconic drama it is today. It’s packed with behind-the-scenes photographs and exclusive interviews with our team, past and present.” 

Chatting about it, Stephen said: “Working on Call The Midwife: A Labour of Love has been like opening a much-loved family album; some of the images have made me smile. Some have made me miss those pictured afresh. But all of them have made me cherish the years we shared, and the stories we made together.”

Chatting about their excitement to read the book, one person wrote: "The book will no doubt be top of the Christmas list of many fans' of Call The Midwife!” Another added: “What a lovely way to commemorate the 10th anniversary. I have been watching it since the very first episode and I was pregnant with my 2nd son. I will definitely be ordering a copy for myself to re-live all the memories.”
