Description
Christopher Matthew's tribute to A. A. Milne's poems, now available in a new edition, offers a reassuring volume for those turning sixty. Twenty years ago, Matthew took some of Milne's best-loved poems from Now We Are Six and adapted them for an older audience, with results that are often hilarious, sometimes rueful, and always thought-provoking. This new edition includes fresh material alongside the old favourites, addressing the challenges of modern life such as mobile telephones on trains, unsocial behaviour, traffic jams, and the internet. The poems offer a humorous and relatable take on the experiences of growing older, including the loss of youth, vitality, and sometimes even one's car keys. With its lighthearted and often humorous tone, this book is a welcome companion for those navigating the complexities of middle age.
