‘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.’
This Autumn 2026 issue is themed ‘The Man Who Saved England;’ that man was James Lee-Milne, who led the National Trust’s campaign to save the country’s stately homes. Plus Richard Smyth listens to the birds of Victorian London, David Profumo goes fishing with Negley Farson, and Kathryn Hughes does a ward round with Monica Dickens.
