Book Summary

"The enjoyment of life," says Thelwell, "is an attitude of mind," and as his wonderfully humorous Book of Leisure demonstrates, the pursuit of relaxation requires the utmost of energy.  If the head of a sports equipment company practices golf shots in his office, he may well be asked, "Don't you ever relax, J.B.?"  And for the child on the bucking horse, the definition of enjoyment is as much up in the air as is the child.
