Celebrating simple things in life that keep us from going crazy, Notes From A Small Room is a celebration of the easy pleasures of a life well-lived. In ‘A Good Philosophy’ we learn of Ruskin’s life philosophy; or the lack of it; and ‘In Search of the Perfect Window’ we join him in meditating on the qualities of a good window and its importance to a room.
 
Whether contemplating the sound of a tropical downpour; on the fragrance of lime trees in the Himalayas or on a year spent with his cat Suzie; Ruskin transports us to a quieter; more elegant world where time moves at a gentle pace. He invites us to revel in the intricacies of life and to poke fun at its absurdities; with insight; wisdom and wit.
