Told in verse and superbly illustrated by Arthur Robins, it makes old age seem a lot of fun.

Full of her characteristically wicked humour. Delightfully funny characterisations. A rollicking tale full of lusty energy. * * * *

Arthur Robins's illustrations mix humour with an occasional touch of mild menace.

Crime writer Val McDermid has turned her hand most effectively to her first picture book.
