Slightly Foxed is a quarterly magazine that introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. It’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine.
What grabbed us about this issue.....
This summer issue has a real sense of adventure, travelling from 16th-century India to the early days of the space race. We kept coming back to Justin Marozzi’s essay on the Baburnama, the remarkably candid memoir of Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire. If you’re into true stories of daring, you might enjoy Grant McIntyre’s return to Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff and the test pilots who became America’s first astronauts. Birdwatchers will also find Richard Smyth’s piece worth a look as the evenings stretch out.
Who is Slightly Foxed for?
Slightly Foxed is one for when you want a slower, more considered approach to finding your next read. Each piece offers plenty of background on its subject before the book itself comes into view, so you arrive at the recommendation having already built an appetite for it. This would suit you if you enjoy longer-form reading and like to dip in and out rather than read cover to cover.
Type: Long-form read for a quiet moment
