Annie Tempest's wonderful cartoon strip about a fictitious English village, with the eccentric Lord and Lady Tottering and their family who reside at Tottering Hall is much lauded and internationally loved. For more than thirty years, Tottering-by-Gently has appeared weekly in Country Life magazine to the delight of readers.

The struggle with the generation gap and the wokerati is a dynamic always at play at Tottering Hall. In this latest book, Annie Tempest has brought together her favourite cartoons on the subject of growing older in a fast, glitchy and disrupted world where everything the aged Tottering types do is translated into a boomer meme to be giggled at. Unapologetically, the Totterings grapple with the new order of social media, mindfulness and 'me-time', while continuing to hold out for meat, two veg and Chianti, over tahini, tofu and kombucha.

Twilight Years with the Totterings is perfect for anyone who is on the wrong side of fifty.
