Special 80th birthday edition of this joyous celebration of the art of ageing, from the masterly pen of one of the world's favourite illustrators.
Quentin Blake has been drawing ever since he can remember. He taught illustration for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art, of which he is an honorary professor. He has won many prizes, including the Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration, the Eleanor Farjeon Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal, and in 1999 he was appointed the first Children?s Laureate. In the 2013 New Year?s Honours List he was knighted for services to illustration.
"The age range? 60-plus but is seems well worth stocking, perhaps
next to the till, as a possible pick-up for grandparents."

"A joyous celebration of the art of ageing"
*The Oldie*
"There are folk we can recognise on every page. Vivacious, joyful,
eccentric, artistic, comforting oldies. They are all there!"
*Carousel*
"Quentin Blake's irrepressible people of a certain age romp through
a virtually wordless delight... a wonderful, creative view of
ageing and a life affirming pleasure"
*School Librarian*
"These wonderful, exuberant images of 'mature' people - still young
at heart - enjoying themselves, and very often in trees - are
unmissable!"
*The Good Book Guide*
