«A fiercely witty polemic . . . Amusing, erudite, insightful»

Daily Mail

«Witty, astringent primer for life . . . Bayley is a dazzling writer, by turns elegant, iconoclastic and wickedly subversive, and with a style and panache that rivals his favourite household objects»

Michael Simkins, Mail on Sunday

«The joy (and depth) of this book is how Bayley has come to appreciate the spiritual value of things big and small»
