Thank you your reply, he wasn't a big reader before dementia, but does enjoy old stories, I will certainly look at Arthur Ransome.What kind of books did he enjoy reading before dementia?
You may find that he likes books from the past where he can more easily associate himself with the story, ask him about authors, you may find he says somebody like Arthur Ransome.
Yes he enjoys hearing some of the local newspaper, thank you for suggesting.local newspaper might be better, might provoke conversation.
Thanks so much, I'll check out Michael Morpurgo books.I think Michael Morpurgo books are all great. Although for children they are very interesting and not too long.
I read all of them to an elderly lady and she really enjoyed them.
Good luck
