MariaPopova’sbreathtaking,brilliant

book is like a sky full of fireworks,

explodingwithideas,andstories,all

interconnected in marvellous ways.

Astronomers, artists, scientists, poets,

musicians and philosophers show that

that there “are many kinds of beautiful

lives”, and Popova describes how they

have contributed to our understanding

of the world and enhanced our lives.

Poet Emily Dickinson, astronomer

Maria Mitchell and sculptor Harriet

Hosmer all feature – exploring not just

what they learned from the past, but

also how their work will affect our

future, and could change the nature of

happiness. Time to get enlightened.

Henry and Tash Meredith are the

third generation to take charge of

lifestyle store, Car & Kitchen, in the

market town of Settle, North

Yorkshire. The shop was established

by Henry’s grandfather, and each

generation has brought their own

taste and passion to the business. You

can see how the shop has evolved

organically over the years – and is

today an Aladdin’s cave of homeware,

kitchenware, gifts and clothing.
