Staying Home? – books where not too much goes wrong

Curated by

Nic Bottomley

The working title was where “nothing” goes wrong. But we’re not sure that’s a thing. So here’s the next best option – a collection of books bursting with warmth and positivity and in which, for the most part, if stuff does go wrong, it doesn’t do so irretrievably or overwhelmingly!
