About me I'm a big fan of women writers from the first part of the twentieth century: Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner, E M Delafield, Nancy Mitford and so on. The pile of Persephone books is growing steadily.
About my library It's pretty much all there now except for a few odds and ends.

I read your review of Loving without Tears this afternoon and had to ask an Irish acquaintance about carnation rabbit. He described it as rabbit baked in a mix of Carnation canned milk, mushroom soup, and cheddar cheese.

I see from your profile that there is a Brighton & Hove Group. I am currently living in the US, but originally hail from Sussex. Fellow LT Peter Brown posted an interesting piece regarding the cover of one of the Virago books here. You may have already seen it, but if you haven't it may interest you.

more of you in the VMC and Persephone Groups!

PS there is an LT Virago Modern Classics group you might be interested in if you haven't come across it already.
