September Round Up

 


It's been a busy September, as autumn appears and a chill enters the air. 

I had a piece in the Spectator Schools supplement, here, on my boarding school memories, and another piece, about going to Lancing and Dorset House, which came out in the Lancing College magazine, Quad.

My Substack has been trundling along, with pieces on Ivy Compton-Burnett, Ovid's Tristia, the economics of writing books, John Lowin (an actor and contemporary of William Shakespeare), and the children's author Susan Price, whom I have recently discovered, having reviewed a reissue of her wonderful The Ghost Drum.
