Older: but not wiser

In the realm of amusing, deadpan greetings cards, Cath Tate is the original and best. In her thirty-year career she has created thousands of witty, original and often subversive cards, featuring grim-faced old ladies, ludicrously dressed 1920s gentlemen and bizarre-looking children, paired with text that perfectly captures her highly individual and devastatingly funny view on the world.

This hilarious book - an ideal birthday gift - brings together the best of Cath''s work on ageing. Wise, cynical and - very occasionally - warm, it is packed with insights into this sadly universal process, whether we choose to embrace it or defy it. After all, as Cath says, ''Age doesn''t matter - unless you''re a cheese.''
