Bibliographical note

This book published by Age UK, brings together a distinguished array of contributors to provide insights on some of the questions about the Oldest Old which we do not know.
My contribution was to provide insights from the nonagenarian siblings themselves into what their ageing was like, how they viewed the future and how they believed that they had aged so long and well.
