In bed with this seasonal collection of Thirkell short stories from the 1930s and ‘40s (although not all of them are strictly Christmas-ey).

BookNAround I thought I had all of Thirkell‘s Barsetshire books but I don‘t have this. Must purchase immediately! 5y

LeahBergen @BookNAround 😆😆 I have a mixture of these Virago editions and a bunch of the old hardcovers but I STILL don‘t own them all (yet!). 5y

mabell Want! 😍 5y

Lreads It's excellent as an audiobook. 💙 6y

saresmoore Oooooh! 6y

batsy Aaah, that looks like a lovely Christmas read. I noticed @LeahBergen recently gave it 5 stars on GR ❤️ 6y

Tamra @batsy woot!! 6y

LeahBergen @batsy I actually gave 5 stars to High Rising (the novel). This one is a set of related short stories which I also own. 😆 I‘m hoping to get to it soon. 6y

batsy @LeahBergen Oops, sorry! 😁 Does High Rising also have a Christmassy setting? I'm greedy and want to read it this month, but will probably be unable to fit in as many books as I think I can 😂 6y

LeahBergen @batsy It does .. well, somewhat. The first half or so takes place over Christmas and New Year‘s. I think you‘d really enjoy it! 6y

I'm in a reading slump after Middlemarch...it was such a lovely, peaceful place to go every day and nothing else measures up. So, I've decided to get a jump on the holiday season with this collection of Thirkell's Barsetshire Christmas stories. And I don't even celebrate Christmas! 😊🎄#readingslump #angelathirkell

DivineDiana This looks enchanting! 7y

AlaMich @DivineDiana Her books are lovely. And the Virago editions are so pretty. 😊 7y

Lreads I adore Angella Thirkell! Her stories are lovely on audio. (edited) 7y

batsy Middlemarch definitely leaves you with a fierce book hangover ❤️ 7y

LeahBergen I just love these Virago editions! 7y

AlaMich @LeahBergen Yeah, I kind of want to go live in them...is that weird? 🤔 The covers, I mean. (edited) 7y

LeahBergen @AlaMich Not at all. You'd look smashing in that green skating costume. 😄 7y
