In detail

What it is, and what it is not.

A book of familiar, enjoyable pages about everyday life in Britain between the 1950s and the 1970s. It is written for an adult with a lifetime of experience: no cartoons, no gold stars, no time limits and no wrong answers.

One activity to a page

Reminiscence questions, finish the saying, 9 × 9 word searches with the words running only across or down, word scrambles with the first letter given, missing letters, odd one out, what goes together, a gentle three-choice quiz, colouring, and a “My memories” page with writing lines 12 mm apart. No two pages of the same kind sit side by side.

Large print, calm pages

Set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface made for the Braille Institute for readers with partial sight. Body text 22pt, instructions 24pt, puzzle letters 28pt, pure black on white with plenty of space.

Alone or together

Every activity works alone or with a companion, and most pages end with a talking point. A one-page note for companions and carers covers going at their pace, skipping pages freely, and what to do if a question brings back someone who has died or a hard time.

Answers at the back

Ideas and answers are grouped by page number, so nobody needs a phone or the internet to check. If a memory doesn’t match the back of the book, the note says to go with the memory.

For enjoyment and conversation

It is not a medical or therapeutic product and does not offer medical advice.

How it was made

  • Written The text was written by an AI system (Claude, Anthropic) from EDC’s brief, then checked by separate reviews for tone, facts and layout. Every quiz question and era fact was checked against a live source on 27 October 2026.
  • Pictures The line drawings and the cover painting were made by an image model (Google Gemini) from EDC’s prompts, then cleaned to pure black and white for print. No brands and no real people.
  • Printing 8.5 × 11 in pages. On A4, choose “Fit to page”: it prints at 97% and nothing is cut off. Every colouring page has a blank back for double-sided printing.
  • Copying Print pages for personal use, or for residents in a single care home.
  • Refund Full refund on request for 14 days.

Questions

Is this a medical or therapy book?
No. It is for enjoyment and conversation. It makes no claims about memory or dementia and does not offer medical advice.
Who is it for?
Adults living with early-stage dementia who enjoy talking about the past, and the family members and care-home activity coordinators who sit with them. It is written for an adult, never a child.
Will it print on A4?
Yes. The pages are 8.5 × 11 in. In your print settings choose “Fit to page” (or “Shrink to fit”): it prints at 97% on A4 and nothing is cut off. On US Letter it prints at full size.
Can I print the pages more than once?
Yes, for your own use, or for residents in a single care home. Print a page again whenever someone wants another go.
Can I print double-sided?
Yes. Every colouring page has a blank back, so pens and pencils won’t spoil the next activity.
Do we need the internet to use it?
Only to download it. The ideas and answers are at the back of the book.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email within 14 days of buying and you get a full refund on request.
