Sold Out
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.....
Issue 75 is a lovely mix of the familiar and the forgotten, with writers revisiting the books that have stayed with them. We kept coming back to Christopher Rush’s essay on Muriel Spark’s Miss Jean Brodie, one of fiction’s most memorable teachers. If you enjoy a classic with a bit of adventure, you might like Adam Sisman’s return to H.G. Wells’s Martian invasion in The War of the Worlds. It’s also worth a look if you grew up with John Masefield’s The Box of Delights, as Brandon Robshaw’s piece is a nice reminder of why it’s such a festive favourite.
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
