Nature can make everything better. I was meant to be on the other side of the world and then this happened (plus 4 shooting stars). I made some good wishes. #signs

Last minute (panic) checking of a couple of manuscripts for THE TRAVELLER at the Goethe-Schiller-Archiv in Weimar. They have some of Forster's diaries here. Especially the one one for his hedonistic weeks in Vienna.

So excited to share the UK cover of my forthcoming book THE TRAVELLER ... which is about a quite remarkable human being. George Forster, a man who tried to find what connects us rather than what sets us apart - he saw unity behind our diversity, not discord and division.

I'm excited that “Invention of Nature” is part of @johnmurrays classic series (with Jane Austen & David Attenborough). A new edition with a brilliant foreword by the even more brilliant @MerlinSheldrake
