I am half way through The Tortoise and love it so much I wanted to see what else I should devour! Iām currently on my holls in Northumberland and as usual will walk my dog /kids around the corner to the magical Barter Books. So many shelves ā¦ what better place to find my next EJ story. I now know I will be hunting for Honey after breakfast! š
Henry, having only discovered your substack a week ago, and spending many happy hours reading the archive, I managed yesterday to successfully haggle with the good burghers of ebay, and bought a tatty ex-library hardback 1st edition copy of Honey for just under Ā£20 including P&P. I also bought the Jane Austen biography, The Tortoise and Dr Gully for under Ā£15 for all three, so the one copy of Honey cost me more than the other 3 books together. I rarely buy an unknown (to me) author just on another person's recommendation, but your praise was so glowing that I felt compelled to see what all the fuss is about! I look forward to seeing if my views concord with yours. I love your site, by the way, so I'm teetering on the verge of becoming a paid subscriber, though funds are a bit tight at present.

Youāll only get it secondhand. That and Dr Gully (and Brightness) are her best works. Biog of Austen also splendid. Glad youāre a fan!
