What fictional detective survived an attempted murder by his creator?
Whose gravestone bears the inscription “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated”?
Who was the single mother, living on state benefits, whose series of fantastic novels made her the richest writer in England?

Dr. Lederer has written more than 60 books about language, history, and humor.

Richard Lederer shares wit and wisdom, information and inspiration about the incredible journey to maturity. The touching stories, fascinating facts, and rollicking humor will stir your soul, stimulate your mind, and tickle your funny bone. The pages are set in 14-point type.

A blend of touching stories, fascinating facts, and rollicking humor is presented in this entertaining look at the jaunt towards senior citizenship. Guaranteed to stir souls, stimulate minds, and tickle funny bones, the chapters include “Why It’s Great to Be Chronologically Endowed,” “Grandkids Say the Darnedest Things,” “The Lighter Side of Aging,” and “Jest for the Health of It.” Advice on enjoying one’s golden years is featured, from how to accumulate happiness and social wisdom to the delights of retirement. With puns, jokes, riddles, and puzzles illuminating important aspects on the aging process, this uproarious guide also lists outstanding achievements by “chronologically gifted” leaders, artists, writers, and athletes.

The Gift of Age is one of Dr. Lederer’s best-selling that is not about language. Jim McLean’s sprightly illustrations add joy to this book.
