About this title

Synopsis

When a writer turns cartoonist, but can't turn loose of her typewriter, On Getting Old for the First Time is the result. At least it was for best-selling author Peg Bracken, whose new book is illustrated (or decorated, her preferred word) with pictures of Emily -- her wry but often-wistful heroine.Millions of women are familiar with Bracken's The I Hate to Cook Book. Now Bracken takes on the interesting matter of getting old for the first time -- a fascinating, universal project that all of us tackle, sooner or later.
