I knew I’d enjoy the 4 Slightly Foxed Literary Review publications that I found in a charity shop at the end of January because books about books are always good.
I started with the Summer 2022 edition
I found that I owned 2 of the books written about in the summer 2022 issue as well as Pevsner’s Suffolk (it’s Pevsner biography from 2011 that’s reviewed here)
I’ve written about Copsford HERE back in 2019 when I discovered there was a new edition. What I found interesting in the review in Slightly Foxed was that the writer, Grant Mcintyre had known Walter Murray much later in his life long after he moved away from the almost derelict home where he gathered and dried herbs to sell. Murray married his ‘music teacher’ and went on to start and run a small private school for 40 years until 1963, which Grant attended. Miki at Farms On My bookshelf has a post about him HERE and I discovered The Green Man of Horam by Tom Wareham is a biography of Murray. I suggested the library buy a copy – but had an email straight back to say they won’t be buying.
