Magic of Modern Metaphor

An unusual and engaging collection of nearly 100 stories structured around the relationship between a grandfather and his enquiring grandson. This is a book that can be read for pleasure, but could equally be used in a classroom situation to draw out the lessons from the stories. Indeed, the third part is all about interpreting the stories and questions that might arise from them. They are full of wise advice and pertinent observations about life and the connection between our attitude and circumstances. A number of comments at the end are aphoristic such as 'when we delude ourselves we obscure our truth' and 'doing something is not always better than doing nothing.' A good book to share in the family.
