J.B. Priestley on Life's Delights [Corrected Version]

[Editor's Note: Our apologies for the mismatched content in yesterday's DailyGood newsletter. This is the corrected version.]"I followed a path that led me into one of these woods, through a tunnel of green gloom and smoky blue dusk. It was very quiet, very remote, in there. My feet sank into the pile of the pine needles. The last bright tatters of sunlight vanished. Some bird went whirring and left behind a deeper silence.

Priestley shares his heart's delight in the quiet manifestations of beauty and magic in everyday life--a quiet pine wood at dusk, a spray of plum blossoms, the light and warmth of sunbeams. Celebrate the everyday wonders of the natural world with J.B. Priestley in this selection of short essays from the collection Delight. { read more }
