Excerpt from White Gifts for the King She had thought she was doing it all for love; but how little of self denial there really was in it! How impossible to find even one gift that might be called a white gift. She was very quiet all through the dinner hour and even the bright con versation of the lively set of girls at her table, and the usual gay chatter from the other groups in the college dining room, failed to rouse her from her thoughtful mood; and just as soon as possible she slipped away to the quiet of her own room.

From the bestselling author of UNDERLAND, THE OLD WAYS and THE LOST WORDS - an essay on the joy of reading, for anyone who has ever loved a book Every book is a kind of gift to its reader, and the act of giving books is charged with a special emotional resonance. It is a meeting of three minds (the giver, the author, the recipient), an exchange of intellectual and psychological currency, that leaves each participant enriched. Here Robert Macfarlane recounts the story of a book he was given as a young man, and how he managed eventually to return the favour, though never repay the debt. From one of the most lyrical writers of our time comes a perfectly formed gem, a lyrical celebration of the transcendent power and humanity of the given book.
