Synopsis

+++ Used by more than 10,000 families +++

“A bird in the hand…” — you finished that sentence without thinking. That is exactly what this book is for.

Sayings are among the last things to fade. Nobody studied them: they were heard in the kitchen, at work, around the family table. And they can remain firmly in place even when names and dates begin to wander. That is why they can open a conversation like almost nothing else.

Sayings of a Lifetime brings together 176 time-honored sayings and proverbs, one per page and in large print, designed for slow reading, remembering, and conversation.

What you will find inside:

• 176 sayings and proverbs, one per page, in a clear and comfortable layout
• Large print, with no hunting for the line or holding the book close to your face
• A short paragraph explaining what each saying means and, where it is genuinely known, where its imagery came from — a trade, a custom, or the farming calendar
• Three questions on every page: Who used to say it in your family? What does it bring back? Does it still hold true today?
• Ten ruled pages at the end for the sayings of your own family — the ones that may never have appeared in any book

The 176 sayings are arranged in eight themes:

• Weather and the seasons
• Work and trades
• House, table, and bread
• Family, children, and love
• Friends and neighbours
• The tongue, truth, and character
• Money, caution, and luck
• The years and the road travelled

The questions are not a quiz and have no right answers. Nobody is corrected here. If your family said a proverb differently, then that version belongs to your family’s story.

Perfect for:

• Reading alone — one page a day, perhaps in the armchair after lunch
• Reading together with a son, daughter, or grandchild
• Reminiscence and conversation groups in senior centres and care homes
• Families looking for a simple way to bring memories and stories into conversation
• A meaningful gift for someone who always had a saying for everything

Sometimes the beginning of a sentence is enough to bring back an entire story.

Important notice: talking and remembering can offer companionship and brighten the day, but this book is not a treatment or therapy and does not replace professional care.
