The Sensation of Crossing the Street

Greetings from Hoxton Square, where the office is all a flurry with orders following the release of the summer issue of Slightly Foxed and our summer SF Edition, Toast. Beyond the controlled chaos of the first floor here at No. 53, the square and surrounding streets have come alive to the beat of summer at last. The trees have unfurled their leaves, people are walking their dogs or enjoying the sunshine (between showers) at street café tables and pub gardens have become host to a gaggle of watering-hole seekers. While many an author has made London the beating heart of their work, this year marks 100 years since the publication of Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf’s beloved novel set over the course of a single day in June.

With ‘Dalloway Day’ celebrations afoot and Father’s Day fast approaching here in the UK (Sunday 15th June) we thought we’d send this week’s newsletter out a few days early, to give those readers in search of presents a little last-minute inspiration (and a special offer) and highlight a delightful Woolfian read from our own bookshelves at the same time.

Do read on for a double dose of Woolf as Sue Gee crosses the street with Mrs Dalloway in an article from SF Issue 18 and Richard Kennedy reveals the behind-the-scenes world of the Hogarth Press, with a special offer of a free copy of An Englishman’s Commonplace Book with orders over £30 and other tempting reading to follow.

With best wishes, as ever, from the SF staff

Izzy, Isabel, Rebecca, Edie & Jennie
