A fun yet informative activity book for use in reminiscence work with older people.

This is not simply a general knowledge quiz, as it is designed with the individual needs of elderly people in mind. The question can be adapted for use with all levels and abilities. Conversation is encouraged by providing questions which focus on everyday- life as experienced by people at the time. Many answers are supported by a wealth of background information which stimulates further reminiscence.
