The Extra Ordinary Life of Frank Derrick, Age 81.  by J.B. Morrison

Frank Derrick is eighty-one.  And he's just been run over by a milk float.  It was tough enough to fill the hours of the day when he was active.  But now he's broken his arm and fractured his foot, it looks set to be a very long few weeks ahead.  Frank lives with his cat Bill in the typically British town of Fullwind-on-Sea.  He watches DVDs, spends his money frivolously at the local charity shop and desperately tries to avoid cold-callers continually knocking on his door...Frank and Kelly's story is sad, funny, moving, familiar and uplifting.  It is a small and perfect look at a life neither remarkable nor disastrous, but completely extraordinary nonetheless.
