There are lots of books about schools for magical kids: Hogwarts, Camp Half-Blood, Unseen University, Strange Academy, and on and on.

But what about a retirement home for magical grownups? Imagine reaching a ripe old age, children and grandchildren grown and gone, and one day you find a gold-embossed letter in your mailbox:

"Greetings!
You have been selected for residence at the Moonfrost Home for Exceptional Elders."

Somebody write a novel about a magical retirement home. I want to read it.

@catselbow Isn’t that what Prachett’s Unseen University is? The Dean, Bursar etc, sound very much like they are in a retirement home rather than running a school for magical students.

@WelshAdventurer @catselbow Yeah, I was going to say this. At Unseen University the students try to avoid going to lectures and the faculty try to avoid giving them. There's even the made up lecture hall that classes get scheduled in so neither party could even attend if they wanted to.
