This precious book records the wisdom of six elders in Kwahu-Tafo. It brings to the fore the beauty of old age. The editors have selected some of the most touching pronouncements on issues such as the art of growing old, respect, blessing and cursing, money, love, death and funeral; themes which will be of relevance for all generations and which will never become outdated.
The editors, who also held the conversations with the elders, are two citizens of Kwahu-Tafo and a Dutch anthropologist who has been visiting the town for more than thirty years.
