Life's little pleasures

The author, playwright and broadcaster JB Priestley published a book in 1940 entitled Delight. In it he Priestley's enumerated 114 "delights" - including fountains, photographs, charades, smells, walking in a pine wood, bragging, comic characters, dancing and buying books.

Fifty years later, the idea is being revisited in aid of the charity Dyslexia Action and the London Library. In Modern Delight a collection of authors, entertainers and national treasures reveal the little things in life that make them happy.
