This is a collection of wit and wisdom of 30 sprightly wise old birds. "The worst thing about old age is the speeding up of time... I had a party for my fiftieth birthday and another for my sixtieth, three or four years later", Raymond Briggs.
Ageing is that part of the future that we try to keep in the future. And 'nobody likes to get old...that doesn't mean to say you have to be an old fart sitting in the pub talking about what happened in the 1960s' Mick Jagger. John Burningham has collected fine examples of the wisdom and wit that comes with age from those in the know, woven with a rich selection of quotes and fifty poignant drawings by Burningham himself.
