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.....
We wanted to know more about Vera Atkins after reading Maggie Fergusson's appraisal of A Life in Secrets: Vera Atkins and the Lost Agents of SOE. Vera worked for the Special Operations Executive during World War Two and after the war travelled through Germany to try and find out what happened to many of the female secret agents who went missing abroad. Physician and poet Thomas Lovell Beddoes's fascination with the macabre is traced back to his vivid school days at Charterhouse, while his ghoulish play Death's Jest-Book is discussed by Ian Thompson.
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
