(I point out that there must be an element of the gothic in all chivalry. No perfectly contemporary action can be described as chivalrous.)

Exciting to see that Faber in the UK has just published a new paperback edition of one of Sylvia Townsend Warner's best collections of short stories, WINTER IN THE AIR. Warner's short fiction ought to be better known, and this collection is a great one to start with.

all feature in .

STW is one of my favourites writers so I dived into her comic, apocalyptic story ‘Scorched Earth Policy’, about an old couple who toed the “make do and mend” line during the war, only to opt to raze it all down.

Have you started your ?
Spotted this display at the University Women’s Club yesterday, and added Winter in the Air to my To Be Read list. I’ve been off short stories recently, and think Sylvia Townsend Warner might be just the ticket to get me back into them.

In celebration of Sylvia Townsend Warner's birth in 1893:

"When I had exhausted our library I made several excursions--to Saint Andrew's, to Oxford, to the German Universities--and read over the shoulders of mortal students. It was sometimes very trying not being able to turn the pages for myself, since I was a quicker reader than they; but invisibility had its drawbacks." - Kingdoms of Elfin

Packing preorders of the glorious T H White by Sylvia Townsend Warner. Christmassy colours were NOT intended when planning the cover, but they look seasonal, no?

To be published 17 January, and preorders are posting now. handheldpress.co.uk/shop/lgbt-

I'm Sylvia Townsend Warner's 'Kingdoms of Elfin', stories she wrote toward the end of her life that echo aspects of her wonderful first novel 'Lolly Willowes'. The imagination and wit of the novel are still there in force in these unusual stories.
