Prue Leith

Getting older may have its challenges - but it can be a lot of fun. In her candid, uplifting, and thoroughly entertaining new book Being Old, Prue Leith explores the trials and taboos of growing older - along with its unexpected joys. Part memoir and part reflection, Being Old and Learning to Love It is packed with Prue’s trademark wit, wisdom, and no-nonsense charm as she takes a spirited canter through the triumphs, trials and tribulations of ageing well.

If you were at Prue’s Literary Festival event last year you will need little reminding of how lively, uplifting and thoroughly entertaining an hour in her company can be.

‘Few people have aged so gracefully and enterprisingly as Prue. How she’s done it is a revelation, full of humour and practical advice.’ Delia Smith

‘Refreshing, honest and tremendously encouraging for those who are terrified of growing old’. Alan Titchmarsh
