On the 12th Oct 2019 I went on Facebook and posted a photo of me holding, “All Good Things: A Treasury of Images to Uplift the Spirits and Reawaken Wonder”. The book, which was compiled by Stephen Ellcock, features 250 images – some of the images are weird, some are wonderful, some are beautiful and some are funny. Stephen is a Social Media Curator who has rightly won rave reviews for his book which is, “A treasure trove of 3,000 years of artistic creation, scientific enquiry and pan-global magical, philosophical and religious traditions.” I advised my friends to treat themselves and buy Stephen’s book as soon as possible. I think many people who read “All Good Things” felt exactly the same as me and also shared that desire to tell all their friends to spread the word about it. Welcome to Stephen’s world!
