Subjects of articles published in Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader’s Quarterly 

Each quarter Slightly Foxed offers lively personal recommendations for books of lasting interest – books, including fiction, non-fiction and poetry, that have stood the test of time and have left their mark on the people who write about them. It’s an eclectic and wide-ranging mix, introducing readers to some of the thousands of good books that may have long ago disappeared from the review pages and often from bookshop shelves.

Coming attractions . . . Stephen Bayley falls in love with a car, Noonie Minogue is invigorated by The Story of San Michele, Tony Hufton gets a new slant on Dorothy Wordsworth, Pauline Melville meets Dostoevsky’s difficult adolescent, Roger Hudson admires the indomitable Mrs Thrale, Maggie Fergusson is moved by Alan Johnson’s childhood memoir, Martin Sorrell joins Richard Cobb at The End of the Line, Ariane Bankes is intrigued by Nigel Nicolson’s portrait of his parents’ marriage, and much more besides . . .
