Do you have a loved one who has always enjoyed reading, but now struggles to follow a book because of memory problems?
Perhaps illness has made reading difficult for them; or fatigue or medication may mean it’s hard to concentrate. The Perfect Pie and Other Stories contains seven feel-good stories of everyday life, specially designed for seniors and other readers with mild memory loss, or issues with focus and concentration. The clear, large font and large page size make reading easy on the eyes.
Features of the short stories include:
- Simple, linear plots
- No need to remember what happened on the previous page: frequent gentle hints remind the reader of the story
- Familiar settings and situations (settings are British but non-specific)
- Up-beat tone and cheerful resolutions
- A mix of male and female main characters
- Straightforward language to avoid confusion
- No mention of dementia or memory loss in the book’s contents or cover (though ordinary forgetfulness features in some stories)
These easy-to-read stories have themes of family and friends, the outdoors and wildlife, gardens and pets, and cooking and hobbies.
The seven stories in this volume are:
The Perfect Pie – Brian has promised to cook a meal for his friend Larry. But Larry keeps changing his mind about his favourite food! What can Brian do?
The Beach Hunt – Moira and her grand-daughter Sophie are enjoying a day on the beach, when Sophie loses a shell bracelet. However, Moira has a solution.
The Lost List – Alec arrives at the supermarket without his shopping list. But thanks to his helpful nature, he ends up with a few new friends as well as all his shopping.
A Change of Garden – Jean is moving to a new flat. Although she’s looking forward to it, she will miss her garden, and especially its bird life. But her son has a surprise waiting at her new home.
The Expedition – When Tony is in charge of his two year old nephew for the morning, their visit to the park doesn’t work out quite as planned!
Annie’s Scrapbook – Annie enjoys filling scrapbooks. However, her sister doesn’t see the point of them; until she becomes housebound for a while…
A Walk in the Woods – Julie loves early morning walks with her spaniel in the bluebell woods. When her dog runs off, it leads her to a welcome discovery.
