The Corner That Held Them #SylviaTownsendWarner

Paul Filev"He slid to the ground and lay staring up into the branches with a happy and unseeing interest. He was looking at his thoughts: thoughts that at a less fortunate juncture might have pained him but that now seemed as remote and impersonal a subject for consideration as the sway and lapse of the fronds moving overhead."
Looking at your thoughts—a beautiful image. But an impossibility?

Here are some notes on that as well as guides to how to find as many of her books as possible, because you should definitely seek out as many of her books as possible:

Exciting to see that Faber in the UK has just published a new paperback edition of one of Sylvia Townsend Warner's best collections of short stories, WINTER IN THE AIR. Warner's short fiction ought to be better known, and this collection is a great one to start with.
