Now Open Sundays! is a quirky joyful & funny book from Reverend Paul Sinclair. For the past twelve years he has put up humorous church signs outside his Willesden church grabbing the attention of passers-by

When Christopher Matthew was six the poems of Milne always reassured him that other children were as naughty as he was so on reaching sixty he decided that he should adapt Now We Are Six for an older audience.
