Late Youth Reviews

'I never think about age, which is probably why I have remained spookily youthful. I stay young because I pick up the Gift of Life and run with it' - Dame Edna Everage 'Here is a helpful manual in which some 90 'over-50's' give their hints on how to enjoy Late Youth. It's not old age, it's a 'new stage' of life, to quote Deborah Devonshire' - Peter Lewis, The Daily Mail 'Late Youth is small and sprightly, with a pretty, jaunty cover... The collection is light, gossipy, upbeat, based on a well-heeled, well-connected circle of friends and relations mostly aged between 60 and 80.' - Anne Chisholm, The Spectator
