Helpful Report

“What a let down !!”

Helpful Report

“My grandmother enjoyed looking at the book with me, although I think she's unable to read. Her dementia is also too developed for her to properly reminisce about life events or even really engage in a dialogue, but the pictures made her smile and it made it much easier for me to come up with things to talk about together, which was lovely! I think this is a good book for those later stages; someone in the earlier stages of dementia may find it patronising and/or too short?”

Helpful Report

“I thought the concept was a great one but I found the presentation rather patronising and childlike and did not give it to my stepfather who probably would have liked it a lot if it had more pictures, no colouring pages and been better produced. Disappointed.”

Helpful Report

“I am sure the recipient will enjoy remembering past times in England.”

Helpful Report

“Quite nicely laid out, but a very thin book for the money, if this was a child’s book it would be a fraction of the price.”
