National Book Tokens have sent me this image again, as a Christmas card. I know Cornflower posted it a while ago but it will still be new to some people.

It rather reminds me of the wonderful wall sculpture in Ely Cathedral, "The Way Of Life". I suppose for anyone being an avid book reader it is a way of life :)

Indeed!

That 'Way of Life' reminds me of 'I said to the man etc. etc.' I saw the second half of the programme about royal Christmas broadcasts yesterday and found myself in tears hearing George VI reading it, knowing how hard it was for him.

It was a heart-rending speech. Those lovely words from the poem by Minnie Haskins.

Isn't it nice? NBT are trying really hard at the moment to get everyone to buy book tokens.
