‘The real reader’s quarterly’

Slightly Foxed is a cosy quarterly that introduces its readers to books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal (its name refers to the slight staining paper takes on over time). Good-humoured, unpretentious and a bit eccentric, it describes itself as, ‘more like a well-read friend than a literary review.’

This Summer 2026 issue is themed ‘Sailing On’, and features on the cover an oil painting by Dale Blissland of a quaint, welcoming, Aegan blue front door. Inside, the reviews invite readers on a series journeys: Julia Jones sails aboard the schooners of Arthur Ransome’s ‘Peter Duck’; Boyd Tonkin meanders through the beautiful English countryside with Richard Jeffries; and Noonie Minogue relives the final year of Julius Caesar’s life in ‘The Ides of March’ by Thornton Wilder.
