The best is yet to come; stories of the extraordinary, inspiring, inventive, and brave things people have achieved in older age. With an introduction by Michael Whitehall, late bloomer par excellence.
In a culture that glorifies youth, but at a time when the population is getting older, this is a book to challenge old stereotypes of what it means to be in the 'third age'.
From the well known to the unsung, each entry tells the story of how older age was no barrier to impressive feats of intellect, creativity and endurance.
Ranging from Winston Churchill, Alexander Fleming and Baroness Trumpington, to the bestselling novelist Mary Wesley who didn't write her first novel until she was 71, and William Ivy Baldwin who tightrope walked across a canyon at 82. Here is a celebration of the amazing things we humans have shown to be possible in later life.
A gift book for late bloomers, baby boomers, and beyond; and an inspiring picture of the possibilities and potential that older age holds.
