Synopsis

Quentin Blake's drawings have been entertaining children and their parents for as long as any of us can remember, but this is the first time he has illustrated a book specifically for his own generation. Characteristically, it's humane and extremely funny at the same time, and if you are sixty or over - or even thinking about it - this book is required reading.

Media Reviews
The age range? 60-plus but is seems well worth stocking, perhaps next to the till, as a possible pick-up for grandparents. * Bookseller *
A joyous celebration of the art of ageing * The Oldie *
There are folk we can recognise on every page. Vivacious, joyful, eccentric, artistic, comforting oldies. They are all there! * Carousel *
Quentin Blake's irrepressible people of a certain age romp through a virtually wordless delight... a wonderful, creative view of ageing and a life affirming pleasure * School Librarian *
These wonderful, exuberant images of 'mature' people - still young at heart - enjoying themselves, and very often in trees - are unmissable! * The Good Book Guide *
