Christopher Matthew: Now We Are Sixty, Gebunden

Beschreibung

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.

Rezension

This affectionate tribute to Milne follows the familiar rhythms and rhyme schemes of the master The Oldie

Klappentext

Some of A. A. Milne's best known poems rewritten for the over sixties. "I may be a Bear of Little Brain... but as I was saying to Piglet in the Six Pine Trees Home for Superannuated Animals, in our day when you got to Sixty, you didn't worry about Silly Aches and Pains and complain all the time about how Life isn't like it used to be and try to pretend you were still Thirty. What "have" Matthew and his friends got to complain about?" Illus throughout.
