The Secret Lives of Colour by Kassia St. Clair

3 reasons why I love it

1. Short chapters mean it's the perfect book to prick up if you want to read more but are pressed for time.

2. Full of information - there's nothing quite like reading the work of a reader - St. Clair's research for this book was clearly vast - it is an offering of extensive and interesting points, anecdotes and insights.

3. It is delightful, full of humour, and offers a fresh insight into the things of the everyday that you may never have thought of.
