Format:Paperback
I chose this for my highly intelligent but sadly ageing mother whose eyes are failing a bit as is her memory. It provides the balance of large print combined with short stories that suits her, without falling into the trap of religious or 'heart warming' pap that everyone assumes the elderley want to read. Just because your body is failing, doesnt mean you want to read trite stuff! But age can make it hard to concentrate for a long period and retain information through a period of reading a long book; plus failing eyes find it hard to cope with normal print, even with glasses. This book combines large print together with excellent quality short stories from well respected authors. More please!

Classic shorts by famous authors. Bought for my elderly mother - the large print was easy for her to read and she really enjoyed these familiar stories.

Bought this book for my elderly Mother (81) who enjoys reading but whose eyesight is failing. She loved it, the print is great & she enjoyed the length of the stories and it held her concentration for just long enough.
Would recommend this book & makes a wonderful gift.

NOT WHAT IT SEEMED!
I was surprised that this book reverted to stories written by very established authors. I thought it was going to contain interesting short stories by more modern writers. Read more
