Format:Hardcover
Although the phrase 'when I am an old woman I shall wear purple' rang a bell with me, I did not know exactly what it was. Of course, when I received the book I remembered the fabulous poem of that title. Therefore I was a little disappointed by this book as all it is is the 20 lines of the poem split into one line per page, each with a not-particularly exciting sketch. I had bought it as a gift for a female relatives 60th birthday, but I feel it will take her 2 minutes to read the book, and then it doesn't have enough interest to warrant reading again. Disappointing. Maybe I should have spent longer racking my brains as to what 'When I am an old woman...' meant!

This is the book every woman should have! When ever you feel down in the mouth, it will make you laugh, cheer you up, and bring back a little defiance and fun! When I say to my female friends ''When I am old I shall wear purple'' they know EXACTLY what I mean!

A great little book that celebrates growing old disgracefully - funny for those who are already over-60 as well as those looking forward to retiring and doing what they want.

Watch out .. one poem only!
Major disappointment, only one poem in the whole book (albeit a very amusing one at that). Who needs all those mediocre and very obvious cartoon drawings? Read more

Where's My Stick?
When I am old is a brilliant book for any woman over 50 or unhappily approaching retirement. If they are not laughing once they have read it, there's no hope.
