About This Item
[London: Hesperus Press, 2005. Fine/Fine. Octavo. Blue cloth, silver spine. First edition. xxiii,[1],240 pp. Black and white photographs and facsimiles. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Gill Lowe; Foreword by Hermione Lee. Notes on the manuscript and biographical notes. The bookplate of the noted Hogarth Press /Bloomsbury Group collector William Beekman is affixed to the front pastedown, else fine, in fine pictorial dust jacket.
From the publisher: "As children, Virginia Woolf, her sister Vanessa Bell and brother Thoby collaborated on their own newspaper, recording the day-to-day events of the family home, 22 Hyde Park Gate ... [g]ossipy, playful and at times irreverent, they record the comings and goings of a host of figures -- including aristocrats, academics, politicians and artists -- whilst also proffering their own fictional and poetic creations." And it's really funny.
