just clicked on another book on the same lines that was linked in amazon and found this review:
I run a luncheon club for pensioners, and our selection of reading material was getting a little dog-eared to say the least. This was one of many titles we bought, but it has been far and away the most popular amongst the octogenarians. As little Elsie told me "I didn't realise my Alfred still had so much lead in his pencil!" I think this book is a "must read"!
