Christopher Matthew (decorations by David Eccles)

When Christopher Matthews was six, the poems of Milne always reassured him that other children were as foolish and 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 that we are not as young as we thought, whilst some about the more disconcerting problems of modern life; mobile telephones on trains, anti-social behaviour, traffic jams and the internet. Dame Dorothy Tutin, Martin Jarvis, Derek Waring, Geoffrey Palmer and Robert Dawes will bring voice to familiar rhythms and rhyme schemes of the master. Together they will create an audio performance to brilliantly celebrate Christopher Matthew’s reinvention of Milne’s curious mixture of comedy and wistfulness, sharp observation and daft whimsy.

Barely had the first copies of Christopher Matthew's
Now We Are Sixty
landed in the bookshops when people started to ask when he was going to write a sequel. To his surprise the temptation to try his hand at a few more poems (particularly based on originals he hadn't tackled before, such as the Emperor's Rhyme or Sneezles) proved, like age itself, irresistible. Once again they follow the rhymes and rhythms of the great Milne, to remind those who are getting on in years of the wit, wisdom and whimsy he conjured up for those who were very young.

James Thurber

James Thurber is universally admired for his hilarious sense of humour, off-beat imagination, and unique take on the world around him. "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty", in which a young man's fantasies have a much more powerful hold on him than reality, is probably his best-known prose work but this selection also contains wonderfully entertaining essays, poetry and cartoons gathered from all of Thurber's collections. Poking fun at his own weaknesses and those of other people (and dogs) - the English teacher who looked only at figures of speech, the Airedale who refused to include him in the family, the botany lecturer who despaired of him totally - James Thurber is essential reading for everyone who loves to laugh.
