The Joy of Small Things

This book is a not-so-small joy in itself.
NIGELLA LAWSON

Parkinson has the gift of making you look with new eyes at everyday things. The perfect daily diversion.
JOJO MOYES

Always funny and frank and full of insight, I absolutely love Parkinsons writing.
DAVID NICHOLLS

I loved this book . . . Parkinsons writing transports you to unexpected places of joy and comfort . . . these pages contain happiness.
MARINA HYDE

The twenty-first century feels a lot more bearable in Parkinsons company.
CHARLOTTE MENDELSON

Drawn from the successful 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 (youll never see Comic Sans on a funeral notice), celebrates pockets and gleefully abandons a book she isnt enjoying. Parkinsons everyday exaltations - selected from her immensely successful Guardian column - will utterly delight.
