An Artist's response These articles are written in response to the experiences of life in its variety of forms. The collection includes a strange and touching story about extreme eccentricity, searching questions about the vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square, thoughts about acting, drawing and composing pictures, as well as enquiries into co-incidences and evolution. A rich and surprising collection, full of variety.

This entertaining collection includes a variety of stories; humorous and serious. Thoughtful, sincerely observed and full of surprises: What is the strange event in an Italian church? How does a small man achieve a legendary feat of strength? What happens to a nude on the kitchen door?

For those moments of tension, when nerves are jangled and feelings stretched. This book uses short quotes from many spiritual and poetic sources to restore, revive and reassure. Among these quotes there may be one which offers companionship throughout the day.
