Product reviews for 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 with the family.
