Colin Cotterill's "Ageing Disgracefully" is a collection of humorous short stories that explore the antics of the elderly in their later years. Drawing from encounters in England, Australia, the United States, and Thailand, Cotterill portrays a diverse cast of senior characters. The stories feature elderly bank robbers, murderers, serial killers, practical jokers, gamblers, and perverts. These tales, accompanied by illustrations, offer a humorous yet poignant look at aging.
