The Small Fire

Fifty-five pages, illustrated. A picture book for adults with a real guide hiding inside it.

The first half is a story about a man who is handed a small fire in a tin when he is fifteen. The second half takes that story apart chapter by chapter and puts each piece next to what the NHS, the CDC, the National Cancer Institute and the Cochrane reviews actually say - with every source listed at the back, so you can check any of it yourself.

• Sixteen illustrated chapters, and four pages worth stopping on
