Synopses & Reviews
This is an affectionate tribute to A.A. Milne's Now We Are Six, for those who are not so young anymore, and for those who might not be sixty but certainly feel like they are. Enchantingly illustrated, this is the perfect gift for oldies of all ages.
Synopsis
When Christopher Matthew was six, the poems of Milne always reassured him that other children were as naughty as he was, so on reaching sixty he decided that he should adapt Now We Are Six for an older audience.
Now We Are Sixty is often hilarious, sometimes rueful and always thought-provoking. Some verses are about realising we are not as young as we thought, while some are about the more disconcerting problems of modern life; mobile telephones on trains, anti-social behaviour, traffic jams and the internet.
