During the five years of the terminal illness of Dame Iris Murdoch, her husband John Bayley kept a commonplace book of writings which inspired him, which made him think more profoundly and which gave him courage in his darkest moment.

Media Reviews
Rather than make a prosy case for the value of literature in difficult times, Bayley just presents the stuff he likes best. He has indeed gathered many good things..... Some selections are quirky, others most welcomaly chosen.
