English Journey and Delight in new editions.

All time non-fiction classics English Journey and Delight have been published in new editions by Harper Collins North.

English Journey was a best seller when first published in 1934, and is said to be a book so influential that it hastened the initiation of such public institutions as the NHS. Regularly re-printed and re-imagined in various forms , sometimes illustrated, this stripped down version reverts simply to the original text. Currently it is the inspiration for Stuart Maconie’s recent travelogue ‘ The Full English ‘.

Delight is often quoted as the ideal ‘present book’ and continues to give pleasure to all generations . The previous Great Northern illustrated edition was picked by the Daily Telegraph as one of its chosen books for Christmas.

Both are available online and in all good bookshops.

DELIGHT

Delight-2018-978-1-912101-87-0_600px-395x600

A 70th anniversary edition of one of Priestley’s most acclaimed and best loved collections of short essays is released for Christmas, illustrated throughout by Priestley’s great granddaughter Tabitha Wykeham.

This book comprises a series of short essays, which all depict a simple pleasure – the small things in life that Priestley delighted in at a relatively difficult time – a notion that chimes perfectly with the current national mood.  – Fountains; a walk in a pine wood; a new box of matches; Sunday papers in the country; reading in bed about foul weather; suddenly doing nothing .

“What we need is a shot of joy. And I have found just the thing. JB Priestley published his wonderful collection of essays, Delight, in 1949, another period of austerity.” Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph.
