About

A sequel to the author's Now We Are Sixty, this collection once again follows the rhymes and rhythms of the great A.A. Milne.

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. It features a few more poems based on originals that Matthew had not tackled before, such as The Emperor's Rhyme and Sneezles.

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.

Illustrated with monochrome drawings.
