Slightly Foxed: The Pram in the Hall: 69 (Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader's Quarterly)

The independent-minded quarterly that combines good looks, good writing and a personal approach. Slightly Foxed introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal. Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it’s more like a well-read friend than a literary magazine.
