Summary:

"Wendy Cope celebrates 'the half-forgotten stories of our lives' with compassion, wisdom and wit. She continues to be the most generous of authors, sharing her experience of childhood and marriage and writiong poignantly about the passing of time. In several of the poems she reimagines Shakespeare in unorthodox fashion; in others she offers heartfelt tributes to friends and to public figures including Eric Morecambe and John Cage."--Jacket.
