From beloved writer Michael Morpurgo, comes a new collection of reflections, memoir, stories and wonder.

'A beautiful, thoughtful book that brims with joy' KATE MOSSE'Suffused with gentle optimism and warmth' TELEGRAPHIn Funny Thing, Getting Older, one of our most beloved novelists shares his reflections from a lifetime of writing stories about the world. Here, collected for the first time on Michael's 82nd birthday, are his thoughts on nature, childhood, writing, peace and war, and getting older. Some are deeply personal, some political, others in between. And woven in amongst them you will find a play, a poem or two, and even a few stories. Full of wonder, gentle humour and sharp observation, Funny Thing, Getting Older is a book to treasure.

A story is like a kite. If I make it right, if I fly it right, it will swoop and soar. And it will please my heart when it's up there, floating on the wind.

'Our master storyteller' JOANNA LUMLEY

Best lotion ever
Scent: Fragrance-Free, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Best lotion ever. This lotion actually heals and moisturizes your skin so it doesn’t just wash off in the shower. I only have to use it once or twice a week. It dries so fast I don’t have to wait to dress. It’s not greasy at all. I recommend this lotion to everyone. Bonus that it’s unscented because I can use it with my scented body oils. I stopped buying the scented lotions that go with my shower washes and oils and just use this.

The lotion I have been looking for (aloe)
Scent: Aloe Vera, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The perfect lotion I have been searching for. It balances my sensitive skin of being both too dry and too oily, which in turn is helping my acne, and it’s a good size for a good price. Exactly what I need.

Great but heavily scented.
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great value for the size. Cream was light and blended into skin quickly. Non-greasy. My only problem with it was the smell was pleasant but too strong for me. Ended up ordering the unscented.

My absolute favorite body lotion!
Scent: Shea Butter, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
They stopped selling it in stores for a few years (I sent a complaint, because the newer ones in the fancy bottles are not good at all), then they brought it back (I bought bottles of it when it returned), and now it has disappeared from stores, again (or it is never in stock). So glad I can find it on Amazon. It's my favorite lotion and I have been using it for over 20 years. They kept the original formula for the most part - I cannot tell a difference. It keeps my skin soft without being greasy. It doesn't clog my pores and my skin is happy again. The smell is light and pleasant. Please don't ever get rid of it again!
