A Note From the Publisher
News Release
100-year-young Toronto woman publishes book
about living life to the fullest
Date, (Toronto, ON) – Centenarian Estelle Craig has enough interesting stories to fill a book – three in fact. In her latest publication, The Diary of A 100 Year Old Amused Senior, Mrs. Craig recounts life from growing up in Depression-era New York City to being a new mother inWashington to moving to Toronto in the 1940s and witnessing remarkable changes in her lifetime.
“My philosophy for life is to stay busy and make the most of every day,” says Mrs. Craig. “I decided a long time ago that I would travel the world and not wait until retirementto do so. I’ve been blessed with wonderful experiences and I have incredible memories. This book is a way of sharing a little wisdom and a lot of fun times.”
Whether you read Mrs. Craig’s collection of memories and advice as a guide to graceful aging or you simply sit back and enjoy all the interesting characters she has interacted with – Sir Edmund Hillary, former British Prime MinisterClement Attlee, the Duke of Bedford, the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, and more – The Diary of A 100 Year Old Amused Senior is a brief look into the world of a wife and mother who worked as a newspaper columnist, CBC radiocorrespondent, playwright and impresario.
Mrs. Craig marvels at how technology has evolved in her lifetime and she laments that she won’t be around to see the changes that will happen in the next 10-20 years. As someone who has seen the advent of zippers on pants,home “ice boxes” and police being replaced by traffic lights, the dawn of home computers, Apple watches and driverless cars are astounding to her. As Mrs. Craig observes, even her youngest great grandchild has a better command of computers than she does.
Some words of wisdom from someone who has done and seen it all? “You can get older, but don’t be old,” says Mrs. Craig.
The Diary of A 100 Year Old Amused Senior can be purchased through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It is published by AuthorHouse.
