The Joy of Small Things

Drawn from the popular Guardian column these everyday exultations and inspirations will get you through dismal days. Hannah Jane Parkinson is a specialist in savouring the small pleasures of life. She revels in her fluffy dressing gown (like bathing in marshmallow), finds calm in solo cinema trips, is charmed by the personalities of fonts (you'll never see Comic Sans on a funeral notice), celebrates pockets and gleefully abandons a book she isn't enjoying. Parkinson's everyday exaltations - selected from her immensely successful Guardian column - will utterly delight.
