Details of Simplicity.

Whilst this is an account of lonliness, it certainly isn't one of despair. Ozaki's time spent alone gave him an extrordinary eye for detail and respect for the world around him. Pebbles are 'alive', flowers 'nod' to him. This book will calm and enchant by taking you to the nature of things with the gentlest of direction. It can make things come alive.
