About Time - Growing Old Disgracefullyby Irma Kurtz Read by Ruth Hill (1 Cd) Irma Kurtz, former 'agony aunt' of Cosmopolitan magazine, journalist, frequent broadcaster on radio and TV, has written this frank and funny book on ageing. Her ageing parents and her life experiences illustrate her opinions on what it feels like to grow older and the anxieties it engenders from different age groups. She interviews a diverse group of people to indicate a wide range of opinions. Kurtz advises us to have new experiences and events in our lives and to remain active. As an example, the book ends with Irma gazing in wonderment at the Aurora Borealis in Alaska. This is a beautifully written and thought- provoking read as we all, no matter our age, look into our futures.
Read by Gill Bennum (1 Cd) While some incidents in this book are based on fact, most of the events and characters are fictional, although some of them do bear some resemblance to persons known by the author. Thus reality confronts imagination and when the two merge they turn into a fascinating hard-to-put down page-turning read. This is the eighth book by Irene White.

No. 1402 Anne Frank,by Francine Prose Read by Anita Boston Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife written by Francine Prose tells the extraordinary story of how a teenage girl's book became a force in the world. In June 1942 Anne Frank received a red and white checked diary for her birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding in an Amsterdam attic to evade the Nazis. Anne wrote a biography that has become one of the most compelling documents of modern history. She vividly describes her life and events of World War 2 until the hidden attic was raided in August 1944. Francine Prose investigates the diary's unique afterlife, the obstacles and criticism Otto Frank faced in publishing his daughter's words. The controversy surrounding the diary's adaptations, and the claims of conspiracy theorists who have cried fraud, along with the scientific analysts that proved them wrong. Francine Prose establishes that Anne Frank was neither an accidental author nor a casual teenage chronicler, but a writer of prodigious talent and ambition.

No. 1500 Bagels and Baconby Jeff Rozelaar Read by Rita Rosenbaum (6 Cds) Jeff Rozelaar was born into a Jewish family and raised in the East End of London. His early years were spent playing with his mates among the debris of the V2 bombings of the 2nd World War. He spent his formative years among the colourful characters of Petticoat Lane, had a job with his uncle as a bookie's clerk and joined the Brady Club, the place for local Jewish youngsters to go dancing, meet the opposite sex or join the football club. His was a diverse family, with a proverbial domineering Jewish mother, quarrelsome aunts, various cousins as well as his fertile grandmother, who lived in a council flat next to a rubbish chute. This is a vivid account of growing up in the East End during the 40's and 50's and is both amusing and poignant and very nostalgic for those of a 'certain age'.
