Review
"Truly a marvelous collection . . . There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder--the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss."
--Stephen Fry
--Alain de Botton "Healing for the heart and soul. I keep my copy with the brandy and aspirin."
--Jeanette Winterson, author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
