Editors: Gail Pirkis and Hazel Wood
‘The real reader’s quarterly’
Slightly Foxed is a cosy quarterly that introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal (its name refers to the slight staining paper takes on over time). Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it describes itself as, ‘more like a well-read friend than a literary review.’
The Spring 2026 edition arrives with a suitably lush cover—an oil painting by Andrew Gifford setting the atmosphere. Inside, Sue Gee reflects on Cecil Beaton’s diaries; Brandon Robshaw reviews Robert Westall’s ‘The Making of Me’; Andrew Nixon discusses Jeremy Clarke; Olivia Potts explores cookery with Margaret Costa; and Nick Hunt encounters an unlikely librarian.
