Praise for Late Youth:

‘Light, gossipy, upbeat, based on a well-heeled, well-connected circle of friends and relations … good, stout-hearted stuff, in aid of a good cause’ ANNE CHISHOLM, Spectator

 

‘A cheerily indomitable lot these Late Youths. Where did the old codgers go? Ain’t nobody here but us chickens’ PETER LEWIS, Daily Mail

 

‘Pearls of wisdom from celebrities who have passed their half-century milestone’ Daily Express

 

‘Some hard-won wisdom, the stoniest of it from Peregrine Worsthorne, who writes that yes, people his age “are lucky to be still alive, but only in the same way as a lifer in prison is lucky to have escaped hanging”’ BLAKE MORRISON, Guardian

 

‘Celebrities, all wrinkly and proud of it, give their view of what life is like once you’ve passed the 50-year milestone. Upbeat and often tongue-in-cheek as the authors write about what keeps them young … a wonderfully reassuring charity book’ Good Book Guide

 

‘An absolutely delightful miscellany – always good to shoot a paean for age and from such distinguished guns, too’ MAVIS CHEEK
