When I Am an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple, If I Had My Life to Live over I Would Pick More Daisies, Grow Old Along With Me the Best Is Yet to Be (Papier-Mache Press Anthologies)

Rating:
Summary: Sensitive and yet fun (that is if you like purple)
Review: This is a beautifully crafted book of verses

I purchased this book for my elderly mother as it typified her approach to life. She would be forever quoting sections from the book as her behaviour reflected a phrase or section from it. (and yes - she did wear purple!)

It is a gentle reflection on ageing and how too often in our younger years we are driven by fad and fashion. I would thouroughly recommend it to anyone who has elderly parents - and to the parents themselves.
