Slightly Foxed is delighted to be teaming up with Batsford Books and Miranda Mills for an exclusive pre-order offer of signed copies of The Country Commonplace Book. Miranda will travel down to the Slightly Foxed HQ in September to sign all pre-ordered copies. Signed books will be dispatched on publication.
Commonplace books have been kept for centuries, and have historically been used to record favourite passages from books, poetry, anecdotes, extracts from letters, proverbs, lists, shared recipes, quotes, prayers and lyrics. ‘Commonplacing’ has seen a recent revival and can now be seen more as a highly personal anthology – a joyful place where the keeper can develop a deeper sense of self by selecting fragments of language that feel meaningful and reflect their tastes, beliefs and values.
Packed full of quotes, book lists, recipes, poems and observations on the natural world to keep close at hand and to accompany you through the year; in this book, delve into blogger, Instagrammer and YouTuber Miranda Mills’ ultimate commonplace book, a carefully curated guide to the seasons. Packed full of quotes, book lists, recipes, poems and observations on the natural world to keep close at hand and to accompany you through the year, with poetry by Robert Browning and Emily Brontë, and extracts from Edith Wharton, Adrian Bell and many, many more.
