Cosy

The British Art of Comfort

Laura Weir,

About this book

"In breezy chapters complemented by charming illustrations, Weir evangelizes on the joys of quotidian pleasures. . . . Cosy might be British, but warm, fuzzy feelings are universal." — Washington Post
The Danes have hygge. The Swedes have lagom. Now, Laura Weir, editor-in-chief of London Evening Standard's weekly lifestyle magazine introduces American readers to the Brits' best-kept secret—coziness—an indulgent, luxurious, yet unfussy way of creating comfort and joy.
Cosy is "the slacker's guide to staying at home, an antidote to peak frazzle." With trademark Anglo cheekiness, Laura Weir perfectly captures the British essence of cosy. She celebrates socks, warms to the joys of toasty open fires, and extols the virtues of a quiet walk, ultimately enticing us all to create the British magic of cosy in our everyday lives.
With more than 140 whimsical illustrations and interviews with British lifestyle experts, including Melissa Hemsley, Sophie Dahl, and Dolly Alderton, Cosy is a perfect reminder to slow down, have a cuppa, and settle in when life pushes you into overdrive.
"The American market has been inundated with bossy little books in which other countries tell us how to behave. But I'm an Anglophile, and I was drawn to this one. I particularly enjoyed the chapter 'Cosy and Kind,' where Weir indirectly lays out the connection between duty and love." — New York Times
