About this audiobook
In this charming collection of essays, the mundane becomes magical as the author finds wonder in a piece of chalk, a railway station, or a simple puppets' show. It is a manifesto for the observant, urging readers to open their eyes to the fairy tales playing out in everyday life. The prose sparkles with wit and whimsy, transforming the trivial into the tremendous.
