Apart from Now We Are Sixty, Christopher Matthew is best known for his Diary of a Somebody and its accident-prone hero Simon Crisp, whom Sheridan Morley called 'one of the greatest comic characters of our time'. More recently he has published The Old Man and the Knee and three volumes of humorous verse - The Man Who Dropped the Le Creuset on His Toe, Dog Treats and A Bus Pass Named Desire - now collected in one volume under the title A Triple Decker Treat: Collected Poems for Old Dogs and Young Hearts. He lives in London and Suffolk.
