The book is introduced by Jennifer Opie, Deputy Curator of Glass and Ceramics at London's V&A Museum and has a warm contribution from renowned glass expert Dan Klein.

" Reekie's sense of the absurd, with its mixture of irony, imagination and compassionate humour, has family affiliations to the nonsense poems of Edward Lear or the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland " Dan Klein.
