What excellent company you are!

I have been devoted to your podcast for over a year; it could be improved only by being more frequent. Every book I have ordered from you has been a delight; nothing disappoints. I receive your emails with pleasure, and that’s saying a lot. Slightly Foxed is a source of content . . . ’

‘Each copy is a veritable treasure . . .’

'Just to say very many thanks for another wonderful edition of Slightly Foxed. I have been a subscriber since the 4th or 5th edition, and each copy is a veritable treasure.'

- D. Kemp, Northhamptonshire

‘What delightfully personal communication. . .’

'What delightfully personal communication, few these days and far between . . . To be courteously addressed now - by persons, no less, with real names rather than mere titles – goes a long way to restoring trust.'

- M. Llinares, Devon

‘Keep up the high level of publishing . . .’

'Many thanks for reminding me to renew my good lady’s subscription, thus redeeming me from a year’s supply of cold shoulders and cold teas . . . Keep up the high level of publishing, and I will continue to spread the Slightly Foxed “Gospel” to all.’

- J. T. A. McGorry, Cheshire

‘Utter genius. . .’

'I have just renewed my subscription online and had completely forgotten to do so earlier. Quite how I forgot a publication which gives me as much pleasure as Slightly Foxed is beyond me. Not only do I read each copy cover to cover when it arrives, I keep all the past issues and regularly delve into them. When my daughters were teenagers, the highest accolade they ever bestowed was to call something "utter genius". You certainly are – thank you.’

- A. Smout, Isle of Wight

‘It looks lovely . . .’

'Thank you so much for resending a copy of The Young Ardizzone . . . The second one arrived on Saturday in perfect condition. It looks lovely and I hope my sister-in-law enjoys reading it.'

- D. Waring, North Yorkshire

‘You make us all so happy. . .’

'To all at Hoxton Square, please find enclosed payment for the latest edition . . . Keep up the brilliant way in which you make us all so happy!'

- P. Turner, London

‘I appreciate the wonderful books . . .’

'Your gracious letter, missing me as a subscriber, touched my heart. A renewal form is enclosed. For a while, feeling I had too much to read and too little money, I thought to deny myself Slightly Foxed, but, ah, I would be sorry. Certainly it’s unique, and I also appreciate the wonderful books you have been bringing back into print.'

- J. C. Kennedy, Massachusetts

‘I thoroughly enjoy the publication . . .’

'I thoroughly enjoy the publication and I have bought some of your special editions. I don’t have the time to write (nor do I have the magic with words that many of your contributors have) but let this serve as my appreciation for your work.'

- M. Malicki, Canada

‘I have been slightly foxed now for four years . . .’

'I have been slightly foxed now for four years and I’ve just received a card from you to inform me that I can remain blissfully in that condition for another year.'

- S. Boswell, Suffolk

‘Absolutely “top-hole” . . .’

'I think the magazine is absolutely “top-hole” and only wish I had cottoned on to its existence earlier.'

- R. A. Braden, West Sussex

‘I have found myself discovering and rediscovering authors . . .’

‘It is such a joy to find a publication that so effectively conveys the pleasure of good books, and I have found myself discovering and rediscovering authors throughout my first year as a subscriber.’

An Education in Tolerance, Indulgence and Love

An Education in Tolerance, Indulgence and Love

To put mothers foremost in our minds this month, we offer up Gerald Durrell’s tribute to his own from the foreword to My Family & Other Animals, a woman perfectly described as ‘an education in tolerance, indulgence and love’ by Simon Barnes in his introduction to our new edition. . . . I should like to pay a special tribute to my mother, to whom this book is dedicated . . .
