"If only mum or dad, or grandma or grandpa could write down their life story...."
"If only I could write down my memories of how it was in the good old days..."
But where to begin? And how? What to include? how to remember it all? Do you have to start at the beginning? Is it all right to leave some things out? Don't you have to have creative writing skills?
John Hockney has written the essential handbook for writers and non-writers wanting to write or record their own or a loved one's life story. Remember When... has a wide range of trigger questions and subjects, as well as humorous and poignant story examples, many from Hockney's own sometimes-delightfully eccentric family life.
John Hockney has used his experience as a professional storyteller - working with seniors, community groups, schools and nursing homes, as well as with diversional therapists, nursing sisters and aged care professionals - to help the reader unlock a wealth of memories.
