Description
Now We Are Sixty by Christopher Matthew is a witty and affectionate homage to A.A. Milne’s classic Now We Are Six, aimed at readers who are no longer children—or who feel the weight of sixty years on their shoulders. With playful and nostalgic humour, Matthew revisits Milne’s charm while offering reflections that resonate with the experiences, quirks, and absurdities of midlife and beyond.
The book is beautifully illustrated by David Eccles, capturing the whimsical spirit of Milne’s original while adding a contemporary twist. Structured as a series of short poems and vignettes, it explores themes of ageing, memory, friendship, and the enduring joy of imagination, making it appealing to both fans of Milne and new readers seeking a lighthearted, thoughtful reflection on growing older. This title is ideal for anyone with a love of literary humour, nostalgic literature, and charming illustrations.
