This is amazing! Excellent Women is the perfect first Pym! Don't worry - she writes about sad lives but with such humour that you find yourself laughing rather than being sad.

Ah to be a badger tucked up warmly inside an open drawer, safe from the snow storm outside.

Adulthood is thinking you've finally found the pillows that give you the perfect amount of support then spending the next six months realising you have once again been deceived.

Hi! I'm an editor and general book enthusiast looking for a new home to do the usual publishing chat. I like Jane Austen, Barbara Pym, collections of letters or diaries and illustrations from children's books that have been re-purposed into memes about the desire to disappear into the woods.
