Review | The Unwinding & Other Dreamings by Jackie Morris

Blurb

This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. It is a book for dreamers. Slight of word, rich of image, its purpose is to ease the soul. 

The paintings between these covers were worked in the between times, an unwinding of the soul, when the pressures of work were too much. Dreams and wishes are the inspiration at times like this. Threaded through the curious world of The Unwinding are words, slight and lyrical. Their aim is to set the reader's mind adrift from the troubles of our times, into peaceful harbours where imagination can stretch, where quiet reflection can bring peace. 

The Unwinding is designed to be a companion, a talisman to be turned to again and again and a place of respite from an increasingly frantic and complex world.

Review

Simply stunning!

The stories and the paintings within its pages give a real sense of wonder and escapism from the stresses that life can so often bring. 

It is beautifully enchanting not meant to be greedily read in an hour or so which could easily be done, but in doing so you would lose the real meaning. It is meant to be kept and treasured when you need to unwind, dream & find calm.

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Unbound for sending me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
