Ageing Disgracefully

NEW SECOND EDITION

16 Colin Cotterill illustrated short stories first published in 2009

INCLUDES THE DR. SIRI STORY, HAS ANYONE SEEN MRS. LIGHTSWITCH?

This delightful collection of short stories takes a humorous look at the lives of people who have passed the age of sixty and are still behaving very, very naughtily. The collection takes us from England to Asia with stops in Australia and the United States and it proves the point that disgusting old people are to be found just about everywhere. We enter the troubled minds of murderers, bank robbers, practical jokers, serial killers, perverts and just regular old liars all of whom are old enough to know better. You'll doubtless recognize people you know and be forced to admit to a few wiles of your own.

The stories are:
Gran Larceny
A Night on the Tiles
Jack Wong Has a Rare Moment of Lucidity
Tart
The One Legged Marathon Runner of 12B Wildebeest Crescent
The Inside Job
