Ryan Herman has selected the finest moments of serendipity, the astounding acts of kindness and generosity, and the downright silly happenings and brought them together in this book. The tales range from the drunken mice causing havoc but ultimately endearing themselves to the workers at a sherry distillery; the bride-to-be and huge Swiftie who invited Taylor Swift to her wedding and got the surprise of her lifetime when Taylor attended her bridal shower; the owner of a riding school for disabled children who raised tens of thousands of pounds after Lucian Freud popped into one of her amateur horse-sketching classes and left his drawing behind, and Stephanie, the child refugee who founded a female-run software company in 1960s Britain.This is a feel-good book for dark times – packed with uplifting human interest stories, people (and a few animals) doing extraordinary things, idiosyncratic slices of life and simple fun tales.
