Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader's Quarterly

‘Slightly Foxed Editions (and I never tire of saying how beautiful they are) offer two different, wonderful things to the world. Either they are an introduction to brilliant memoirs that were undiscoverable and unknown, or they give the opportunity to have much loved classics in that inimitably lovely series.’ Stuck in a Book

‘I have just opened my newly delivered Slightly Foxed and gone straight to the article about The Little Grey Men and Down the Bright Stream.

Such yearnings don’t quite go away! I have just ordered the pair from SF. (Books that is, not hollow oaks).’

A New England: Tewkesbury

P.C. Dettman, The Z Review

Once in a while, a special book reaches out through the wisps of time and demands to be read.
