One of our bestselling books of 2007, and still going strong, is Edward Monkton's Happiness. We were so smitten by this hilariously bizarre but wise and inspirational collection of musings and drawings we thought, 'We want more!' Well, we're very pleased to say, 'Ta da!', and here they are. Perfect as little meaningful gifts for Valentine's Day, this is one of four books we have chosen that venture deep into the domain of love and relationships, while, of course, preserving the humorous, quirky and surreal 'Monkton' approach.
A nice, ordinary man greets the 'impressive' people he meets. They react with suspicion and ingratitude. But he has planted the seeds of niceness deep into their hearts, and gradually they feel small urges of pleasantness and twinklings of generosity. They like it, and so they swim together in the soft warm waters of loveliness. 32pp, 138mm x 170mm, illus. in b&w, hardback, 2004
