  From the author of bestselling Holy Wit comes this book designed to highlight the importance of cultivating that side of the human spirit that expresses itself in humour and laughter. The book aims to reinforce the link between humour and health, and counteract the mistaken belief that seriousness is a hallmark of maturity. The author, chaplain to the Queen in Scotland and interim Minister of Brechin Cathedral, sets out to remind readers that life is not simply about diligence and duty, vigilance and crusading, but also about play and relaxation, fun and laughter, and about being glad to be alive.
