It’s also a thoughtful book, as Valerie Davies touches on philosophy, the environment, corporate raiders and their effect on the third world...\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes to fun, there’s the inimitable Duchess of Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor, jolly ladies who lunch, and the strange addiction of blogging. There’s plenty about the pleasures of food, and recipes for threadbare gourmets which have delighted readers in the world-wide blogosphere. And threaded in among these pleasures is a concern and deep love for the natural world, for animals and insects, lions and whales.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the perfect bedside book, to dip into and enjoy - good humoured, sometimes funny, and always intriguing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valerie Davies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078000066800,"sku":"2940045082914","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045082914_p0.jpg?v=1765232439","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045082914","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
