Priestley has an eye for the ordinary and the exceptional, and shows us that the difference is more related to our attitude.

Reading these brief essays, which cover everything from daily routines to singular moments in time, I found that they stirred memories of my own joys from childood, and pointed out that delight is often something not realized until one looks back.

These essays are delights in themselves, but for me, the real value of the book is in training my 'eye' to note the delightful as I trudge through the everyday.
