‘I read one Slightly Foxed article at breakfast every day and am currently working my way through the back issues in between reading the latest issue. I should have read all the articles in about approximately seven years from now. What will I do after that when there are no articles left to read? Breakfast will not be the same.’

Slightly Foxed Books
Slightly Foxed brings back forgotten voices through its Slightly Foxed and Plain Foxed Editions, a series of beautifully produced little pocket hardback reissues of classic memoirs, all of them absorbing and highly individual. For younger bookworms – and nostalgic older ones too – there’s the Slightly Foxed Cubs series, in which we’ve reissued a number of classic nature and historical novels. Our online bookshop also includes a hand-picked selection of titles from other publishers’ lists.
