Older: but not wiser

Description

Based on her bestselling range of greetings cards, Cath Tate bring you her unique take on ageing, with vintage illustrations accompanied by witty and insightful text. 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.'

Cath Tate has been creating her distinctive brand of greetings cards for over 30 years. Featuring handcoloured vintage pictures teamed with witty and subversive captions, the cards have been highly influential and continue to sell in their thousands. Cath is the author of six previous books, Friends, Manhood, Older, Mothers, Work and Love, also published by Portico. She lives in London.
