‘I don’t believe I’ve ever read a more eclectic magazine than Slightly Foxed – articles from the 14th Britannica via C. P. Snow to Rex Stout. If I can resist the bibliography at the end before I begin to read an article, it can be like taking a chocolate from a box blindfold.’ – M. Bond, Barry

‘Slightly Foxed is a handsome handful of thick creaminess, always with lovely covers, and would make a great present for someone who likes books, and for whom you can never think of a remotely suitable present, because you think they must have got everything in the book line they need.’

‘It seems like an old friend . . .’

‘Blessings for being a bright spot in my life . . .’

‘I have just finished devouring Corduroy and Silver Ley and am hoping that you will publish the third book in the trilogy. My husband is a farmer in a small way (they’re all small in New England) and these books (plus Brensham Village) capture the joys (quiet) and character – as well as the trials – of farming . . .’

‘Thanks for all the delights . . .’

‘I have just read your newsletter with pleasure as always, and was particularly pleased to read again the article about Tom’s Midnight Garden; it has been one of my favourite books since I started reading it to my children. The other delight that you have started giving us are BB’s books . . .’

‘I simply can’t do without it . . .’

‘A short while ago I made the very bad decision to cancel my subscription to Slightly Foxed. Now I find that I simply can’t do without it. Would it be possible to start it again from when it stopped, so I don't lose any issues?’

‘Many thanks to everyone for a brilliant day . . .’

‘Good morning to all at Slightly Foxed! I felt I must get in touch to let you know how much I enjoyed the Readers’ Day on Saturday. You had chosen a varied and interesting selection of speakers; I especially enjoyed Helena Drysdale and Posy Simmonds. Both had gone to the trouble of preparing an excellent presentation and both were excellent communicators . . .’

‘It’s such a great present!’

‘Dear Foxed Quarterly, Thanks so much for making the ordering process so easy. I bought the September issue at Dulwich Books to give with the subscription and once I looked inside, had a really hard time resisting the temptation to just keep going. It’s such a great present . . .’

‘Sword of Bone charmed me utterly . . .’

‘Sword of Bone charmed me utterly. If I apply the tried-and-tested dinner party criteria of ‘Would I invite the author?’ the answer is a resounding yes. Anthony Rhodes’s tone is laconic, cultured, ironic and witty. A reader could dip at random into the book and come up with a bon mot or two . . .’

‘It brought back to me all the magical delight that my mother and I shared . . .’

‘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. It has brought back to me all the magical delight that my mother and I shared in reading them together. We had no hollow oak on our land but how I longed to live in one. 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

Once in a while, a special book reaches out through the wisps of time and demands to be read. John Moore’s Portrait of Elmbury was written in 1945 and recalls his corner of England during the first world war. It documents a country that was changing by the minute, a country that would never be the same again, for better or for worse . . .

‘The magazine has been a joy to receive . . .’

‘Many thanks for your letter confirming my subscription renewal to Slightly Foxed. Looking back it seems I first subscribed in 2007 – where did those 10 years go?! In all that time the magazine has been a joy to receive (no hyperbole), and it is also a pleasure to know that there are people (yourselves!), who would wish to publish such a magazine . . .’

‘There is something magical, calming and restorative . . .’

‘Dear Gail and Hazel, Of course I shall be renewing my subscriptions and adding another for my brother! There is something magical, calming and restorative in your quarterly magazine. Is it perfection of format and print and illustration or choice of contribution, varied and surprising and always beautifully written? Or is it simply that you reflect my interests and experiences. . .’
