There is a word for the fear of spiders, but none for the small daily astonishment of being awake to see the dawn. The Uncoined Dictionary of Getting Older fixes that - and hundreds of other gaps in the language of getting on. Wendell Quillfeather names the creaks, freedoms, and quiet astonishments of age: the soft sound a body makes when standing, the half-hour farewell at the door, the gentle accounting of a life. For each he invents a word and defines it, deadpan, with great tenderness. Funny enough to give and warm enough to keep - a perfect milestone-birthday or retirement gift for anyone getting older with good humour.
