Slightly Foxed is, in their own words, “a rather unusual quarterly book review”, as I posted last year. It professes to be “unaffected by the winds of fashion and the hype of the big publishers” as it introduces readers to “some of the thousands of good books that long ago disappeared from the review pages and often from bookshop shelve.” “Companionable and unstuffy”, its contributors – some well-known, others not – all write “personally and entertainingly about the books they choose”. It appeals to me that it is “not so much a review magazine as a magazine of enthusiasms – some of them quite quirky”.
In the autumn of 2011 they launched a new paperback series, putting into paperback those Slightly Foxed Editions that have now sold out. I remain delighted that Rosemary Sutcliff’s autobiography Blue Remembered Hills was released. It is pocket-sized and very elegantly produced.

I think you can order from Amazon UK site and get shipped to US. Also at the US Amazon site you can order a Kindle copy (as you can from uk) and also that there are various sellers who will provide hardback copies (Pre-used?). Hope that helps. It is a great read!

Hi Anthony – nice to see you about again :) All the best with the new job.
I’m reminded that Hazel Wood wrote an excellent piece about “Blue Remembered Hills” for the “Slightly Foxed Quarterly” Issue 17 (reproduced here courtesy of the “Rosemary Sutcliff: An Appreciation” blogsite)
