Delight

Delight by Priestley, JB. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781912101870.

J.B. Priestley first made his reputation in the literary world by virtue of his essays, especially short essays that captured the essence of a moment or a taste of magic; and his talents were never better displayed than in the collection entitled "Delight". For here are more than 100 brief pieces that capture and record the moments of wonder and beauty that are found beneath the surface of everyday experience. Every essay bears that unique stamp of JBP as he refers to the pleasures of music, theatre, travel, sport, playing games, chuldhood, etc. Delights like Reading Detective Stories in Bed, Trying New Blends of Tobacco, the Sound of a Football, Long Trousers...and even the delight of Not Going! Terrific stuff!
