Tamra Happy Cozy Sunday 😻 2y

wanderinglynn Sweet kitty! ❤️🐱 2y

Ruthiella This was a fun one to read. I wonder, however, how much of it the editor posthumously added or changed… 2y

A very entertaining read with some laugh out loud moments. This was published posthumously but is apparently one of Pym‘s earliest novels written during the first years of ww2. Foolish men , doughty women and love set in North Oxford. What‘s not to enjoy!

jlhammar Love Barbara Pym, but haven't read this one yet. Need to remedy that! 3y

Before I start on Paula Byrne‘s wonderful biography of Barbara Pym I thought I should read a bit more of her work. Fortunately Crampton Hodnet turned up in my Christmas stocking!

1. I do. I‘m not exactly proud of it but I always notice things like fonts and artwork. If it doesn‘t work visually it does influence me a bit.
