The Story Behind This Book

On my wife's forty-fourth birthday, our son had chicken pox and we couldn't go to a party. Uncharacteristically, she was bemoaning this misfortune. "And I'm forty-four" she said. "No-one ever achieved anything aged forty-four". This book is the result of that conversation.
