Wrinklies Armchair Companion Summary

Wrinklies Armchair Companion by Mike Haskins

Wrinklies' Armchair Companion contains even more stuff that a wrinkly needs to know about the world, and quite a lot that they don't but will find quite interesting anyway! This book has been specially designed to live beside your armchair and provide light relief during advertising breaks or when some awful celebrity talent-show-reality-tv-thing is on, and be a source of interesting quotes and facts for the restless wrinkly. The contents take the form of a series of short, jokey pieces looking at various aspects of life from the Wrinklies' point of view. These pieces are quirky, satirical, imaginative and above all very funny. They are of course specially designed to appeal to the older reader by tapping into their interests, attitudes, opinions, experience, health problems and the like.
