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.

The age range? 60-plus but is seems well worth stocking, perhaps next to the till, as a possible pick-up for grandparents.
