Letters, Letters, Letters


I absolutely cannot stand reading books in hardcover. I find it tiring (maybe I need to start working out more) and cumbersome to read try and find a comfortable position in which to read a hardcover book. So I'm usually 6 months to a year behind the great new books. This week is a great week though because finally The Letters of Noel Coward is out in paperback. With letters to such juggernauts as Virginia Woolf, Winston Churchill, Katharine Hepburn and even Lawrence of Arabia, this collection of the ever fascinating playwright's letter is not to be missed.

From musings on tea at the Ritz, to serious and touching letters about the Blitz, Noel Coward's letters are absolutely fascinating. A true window into perhaps the one true genius.

Happy Reading,
Julia
