In the Garden by Sigrid Hjertén

The postman brought 'The Persephone Biannually' yesterday. Oh it's so good to sit by the fire on this dark, dank November evening and read of their Autumn/Winter books, ticking off the ones to order (gardeners have their autumn seed catalogues, I have my read catalogue) but it's also full of lovely drawings and paintings, short stories and book reviews. I love the list of events on the back cover...wouldn't it be lovely to go their showing of the 1945 film They Knew Mr Knight (on the 19th November if you're in London) or what about the Christmas Open Day...I doze in front of the fire and dream Persephone dreams
