The independent-minded quarterly that combines good looks, good writing and a personal approach. Slightly Foxed introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine. In this issue Tim Mackintosh-Smith gets the shivers with M. R. James • Penelope Lively follows Barry Lopez to the Arctic • David Gilmour recaptures his childhood with Rosemary Sutcliff • Christopher Rush remembers Orkney’s Prospero • Annabel Walker discovers new ways of reading the landscape • John Saumarez Smith recalls his first Christmases as a bookseller in Mayfair • Irma Kurtz sees modern America in The Scarlet Letter • Jill Paton Walsh learns how books were smuggled books behind the Iron Curtain • Richard Woodman is haunted by The Cruel Sea • Emma Tennant takes a phone call from Jackie O, and much more besides . . .
