This title looks not only at some of the delights of growing older
but also at what Lord Byron called 'the woes that wait on age'.
With his trademark combination of funny stories and thoughtful
insights, the author has produced a book on the ageing process that
will appeal to old and young alike.
This collection of jokes and anecdotes with a clerical connection
continues to find new readers today.
In the introduction to his collection of humorous stories focusing
on family life, Dr. Simpson writes, 'I have written it because I
believe family life would be enriched if we took fun and humour
more seriously.'
'There is no such thing as timeless English Words, especially
religious words, words that have to do with the depth of things,
get tired and stale the way other words do, and the way people do.
Sometimes the keywords of faith have pickedup such unhelpful
associations and resonances that they have to be replaced or at
very least re-interpreted in such a way will be heard as new.'
