Counting up year by year, from 1 to 104, this fascinating collection of human feats and follies is for all who suspect that their lives have yet to start or have passed them by. Feel too young to be the older woman? Chill. Anne Bancroft was a wee 37 when she played the most experienced of seductresses, Mrs. Robinson, in The Graduate. Amazed that even after decades as an adult, you still don't know yourself? was 41 before he put himself on the couch. Illustrated with droll, original drawings, What's in an Age will awe, encourage, calm, and prove that people do amazing and unexpected things at every age. From the invigorating (at 78, Grandma Moses takes up painting) to the just plain baffling (97-year-old Simon Stern, of Wisconsin, divorces his 91-year-old bride, Ida), What's in an Age is a handbook for overcoming any age complex.

-
This is a short readable cleverly thought out book. It details achievements of notable people from the age of 1 to 100. For instance, you probably didn’t know that at one year of age Brook Shields became the Ivory Snow baby, at the age of 10 Napoleon enrolls in military school or at age 100 Ichijirou Anaya climbs Mt. Fuji. It is inspirational and shows that no matter what age people are they are still interested in what life has to offer and what is personally fulfilling to them. There are also interesting ink drawings throughout.
