Redstone Diary 2026: Imagining…

The 2026 Diary is a volume of enchantment. From ancient machines to measure the world, to works of fantastical fiction and hallucinatory images of the incomprehensible, Imagining is a call to action for dreamers, artists and creators with an introduction from Julian Barnes.
 
This is the 39th edition of the beloved cult diary and includes a child's cautionary tale, William Blake's angels, spectral photography, a poem from Emily Dickinson, philosophical warnings and John Lennon's lyrics: each week is a prompt to contemplate the boundaries of the everyday. Beautifully designed with a pocket at the front for keeping notes, the diary also has a special supplement of images taken from Al-Jazari's Book of Knowledge of Ingenious mechanical Devices.
