Title: The summer of a dormouse
First published: 2000
Description: Taking as his title Byron's description of what life is ("a mere summer of a dormouse"), John Mortimer describes what it is like to be 75 years of age, and feel 11. He has all of the afflictions that his father had at this age, but retains all his youthful enthusiasm.
