Traditional folktales from around the world celebrate the wisdom, courage, and even the follies of elders, presenting them as crones, wise men, sages, magic helpers, and fools. Arranged by story type, these are tales that can be used in the classroom and library, as a springboard for cultural comparisons and discussion of how wisdom is shared between generations, and how elders contribute to and are perceived by various societies. It is also a fine resource for storytellers performing in senior centers, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. Think folk and fairy tales are all about mischievous animals, beautiful princesses, and handsome princes? Think again. One of the most prominent themes in folklore is that of the strength and role of the elders, a theme that deserves revisiting today. This collection gathers traditional folktales from around the world to celebrate the wisdom, courage, and even the follies of elders. Arranged by story type, these are tales that can be used in the classroom and library, as a springboard for cultural comparisons and discussion of how wisdom is shared between generations, and how elders contribute to and are perceived by various societies.

Maddie Scribble is a young girl with a problem: her best friend has disappeared without a trace, and no one else has even noticed. The worst part is that the only person that can help her is the one person that wants absolutely nothing to do with her, her older sister Lyla. Meanwhile, fairy tale creatures and other mythological beings that really shouldn’t exist have started showing up everywhere and attacking people. Now it seems that the only hope the city has is a fairy that has lost her magic, a goblin with no concept of personal hygiene and two young sisters that can’t stand to be in the same room together.

We think of folktales as stories for the young, but around the world many tales are told of wily, resourceful, and courageous older people. Award-winning folklorist and storyteller Jane Yolen— described in "Newsweek" as the "Hans Christian Andersen of America"— has collected seventy-five stories from the world's storehouse of folklore to inspire and amuse elders and youngsters of all ages. Ranging from short, pithy parables to longer folktales and origin myths, these stories prove you're never too old to find love, play tricks, teach a lesson, learn from others, and even cheat death. A welcome antidote to our youth-obsessed culture, "Gray Heroes" celebrates the riches of wisdom that only experience can furnish. Collected by an internationally known author of children's books and editor of "Favorite Folktales from Around the World," this treasury of elder tales will prove an irresistible and long-lasting source of humor, inspiration, and wisdom.

'A wonderful book that can engage the wise person and the child within every adult who reads it.

Aging and religion has been badly neglected in the field of Gerontology. This book, containing 13 chapters of original theory and research, is devoted to understanding the place that religion and spirituality hold in the lives of elderly persons. The authors, each experts in their own field, approach this issue from their backgrounds in the social sciences and the humanities. Overall this is a ground-breaking collection: It is one of the first attempts to seek to understand the role that religion plays in the lives of elderly persons. Based on their various multi-disciplinary perspectives, the authors make use of a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies as well as personal narrative and literature to grapple with this issue. Finally, the book is unique in that it addresses scholars and students, including the educated layman, rather than the professional alone.
