Literary Life #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Rustic Block" is a quietly subversive gem from Posy Simmonds, who writes, draws, inks, and letters this 2003 tale of aging residents at a crumbling old folks' home. When the staff’s lavish birthday plans for the owners spark outrage over neglected care, two residents unexpectedly meet their fairy godmother—offering a chance to reclaim their youth, though not without complications. The story’s warmth and wit are perfectly matched by Simmonds’s expressive, finely detailed art, both in the interior and on the cover, which she also created.
In a cozy old folks’ home where the residents are more concerned with the quality of their birthday cake than their care, Jo and her friends are stunned when their fairy godmother appears—offering a chance to reclaim their youth, if only for a single night. With a twist on the classic tale, this humorous take from *Literary Life* #nn (2003) finds the elderly residents stepping into a world of glittering possibilities, all while the real question lingers: what happens when the magic wears off?
