_______________ 'Her cartoons are ingenuous to the point of naivety; the jokes are boiled hard, then reduced to their purest distillation in the silliest, simplest form' - Guardian 'Somehow I knew getting older was going to be crap. Didn't realise it would be so funny though' - Jo Brand 'Hilariously and uncomfortably familiar ... Not at all like my own life, you understand, obviously ... I'm very secure and happy, thank you' - Dawn French _______________ Have the inevitable signs of ageing taken you completely by surprise?

About Jacky Fleming
Jacky Fleming is best remembered as architect of the National Health Service, and for her contribution to freestyle swimming. Abandoned by wolves at an early age she was raised by feral intellectuals just down the road from Hampstead. She has only ever experienced the world like someone who has just woken up out of a long trance.
