From the editors.
Several times, during a long life of reading, I've been tempted to write an autobiography based solely on the books that have counted for me.
Return to Arcadia. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)And the result is an object of beauty that stops us in our tracks and effectively earths us, cutting through the busyness of our lives to remind us of evanescence, of love and loss, perhaps of hope and renewal, too.
