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 . . .

Lark Rise to Ambridge | Flora Thompson & The Archers | From the Slightly Foxed bookshelves

Greetings from Slightly Foxed. We’re delighted to bring news of what promises to be a fantastic adaptation of Flora Thompson’s Lark Rise, Over to Candleford and Candleford Green by the cast of the famed long-running BBC Radio 4 drama, The Archers. Over two episodes, broadcast at 3 p.m. on Sunday 1 October and Sunday 8 October, the residents of Ambridge will guide us through Flora’s memoirs of a rural Oxfordshire childhood in the late nineteenth century.
With Bold Knife and Fork | The writings of M. F. K. Fisher | From the Slightly Foxed archives

With Bold Knife and Fork | The writings of M. F. K. Fisher | From the Slightly Foxed archives

Greetings from Hoxton Square. As you all know, each issue of Slightly Foxed is a real feast of interesting and varied bookish delights, and this quarter’s issue (No. 79) is no exception. We were particularly taken with Olivia Potts’s piece on Marguerite Patten but with Cookery in Colour sadly out of print, we’ve been discussing our favourite food writing, and in particular those books being given a second life by publishers like Daunt Books Publishing.
Tales from School Days | From the Slightly Foxed bookshelves

Tales from School Days | From the Slightly Foxed bookshelves

For this week’s missive we turn to Ysenda Maxtone Graham, our resident expert on the subject of school days, author of not one but two Plain Foxed Editions set in the school sphere – Mr Tibbits’s Catholic School and Terms & Conditions – both diligently researched and brimming with detailed anecdotes and hilarious tales. Each of these books provides, as Nicola Shulman writes in her preface to Terms & Conditions, ‘a study of a vanished society, based upon the testimony of elders . . . witnesses to a lost era’.

Historical Adventure Novels for the Young at Heart | Last Ronald Welch Sets Remaining

Greetings from Hoxton Square where a rootle through the stock and stationery cupboards in search of more wrapping paper has revealed that we are down to our last 20 sets of Ronald Welch’s gripping historical adventure novels for children. And so, herewith, a hastily thrown-together email from the bookish elves here at Foxed HQ to let you know that if you’ve been thinking of investing in a set as a present for a young-at-heart reader, with stocks dwindling and the last recommended posting dates for Christmas fast approaching, now would be a good moment to do so.
