About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Good 60th Birthday gift

    I bought this to give to a friend for her 60th birthday. Read some of it myself and thought it was great. Friend hasn't said thank you yet so possibly still reading it!
