Book 0008
Delight by J. B. Priestley
Donated by Aisling Nelson, who says...
I stumbled across an original copy of this book and time stopped for a precious afternoon.
I love everything about this collection of short stories – the honest grumpiness, the sarcastic humour, how relevant many of the examples still are today, the sensory descriptions, the appreciation of simple everyday things, the sharing of innermost thoughts and the anticipation of the word delight in each of the 114 short stories! Transport yourself back to a time when it was a luxury to find ‘Mineral water in bedrooms of foreign hotels.’
Observing delight is mindfulness by a different name!
