What does it truly mean to experience joy? A Book of Joy answers that timeless question through a richly curated anthology of words and pictures, compiled by the celebrated editor and anthologist John Hadfield. Drawing from poetry, prose, and visual art, this elegant collection presents a carefully chosen tapestry of human expression — from the quietly sublime to the exuberantly celebratory — inviting readers to pause and savour the moments that make life luminous. Hadfield, renowned for his impeccable editorial sensibility and his work on beloved British anthologies, illustrates here his rare gift for weaving together diverse voices and images into a seamless and harmonious whole. The collection argues, implicitly yet powerfully, that joy is not a fleeting accident but a quality of attention — something to be cultivated and recognised in the everyday. With its distinctive blend of literary grace and visual charm, A Book of Joy is a treasure for the contemplative reader, leaving one to wonder: how many moments of joy have already passed unnoticed?
