Textul de pe ultima copertă

Gustaf Hakansson was sixty-six years old. His hair was snow white, his beard a great white bush. And in 1951, he defied the judges by riding his bicycle over 1,000 miles in the Tour of Sweden - after first pedaling 600 miles just to get to the starting line! In Sweden, he is known as Stalfarfar, the man who shattered stereotypes about the elderly and won the hearts of millions. David Schwartz calls him Super Grandpa and brings his historic bike ride to life. Schwartz's performance on the enclosed audio CD will captivate listeners ages four and up. Older audiences too will cherish this story of a figure who has inspired generations to stay fit and pursue their dreams.
