Summary

Lost Ordinary Magic is a book about simple things (such as: being alone, nonsense, pockets and spontaneity) told through personal stories, and observations, that are universal.

The forced complexity of modern life means we are so busy dealing with a constant babble of advertising, news and social media, that it can be easy to forget that life can be simple and, often, the things that connect us and bring us joy are simple too.

This book is a chance to take a break from our chaotic world and reconnect with the Lost Ordinary Magic all around us.
