"This wonderful bookcelebrates both the timeless writings of Dorothy Wordsworth and the astonishingrichness of the Wordsworth Trust’s collection. It makes Dorothy’s vivid proseaccessible and engaging and demonstrates the relevance of her work as a perceptivechronicler of the wonders of the everyday." Michael McGregor, Director,The Wordsworth Trust “This is an inspirationalinitiative. Reading helps us to stand in other people’s shoes and shows usworlds beyond our own.  I was firstintroduced to the work of Dorothy Wordsworth by my grandmother and, at the end ofher life, it is what I read to her when she could no longer read for herself.Congratulations to everyone involved.” Kate Mosse, CBE. “I love everything about thisbook. It’s clear and easy to read, witha good balance of text and pictures, and I learned so much.  I even enjoyed trying to decipher Dorothy’shandwriting. I like the fact that thereare questions which give you something different to talk about together, andthe way that the book encourages you to get out and visit new places. I struggle to remember what I’ve read when Iturn the page but with this book it’s a pleasure to read again and again." Anita Goundry-Smith, living with young onsetdementia and Alzheimer’s disease."Reading for pleasure is good for brain health because it reduces stress, keeps the mind active and improves mood. Titles from Open Ended Books can support people living with dementia by reducing the cognitive load associated with longer texts and complex narratives, enabling them to enjoy reading for longer." Dr Karen Franks, Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry at Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust."It has a landscape format, a managable size, printed on high quality paper with a hard cover enabling it to be opened and laid flat across a table or knees. This makes it ideal for people living with early to moderate dementia and health and social care staff, family carers and friends to share especially since many images are accompanied by useful questions to prompt discussion." Maria Pasiecznik Parsons, Creative Dementia Arts Network, on the first Equal Arts publication Bewick Tales.
