Blog alert: While chasing around for links to Angela Thirkell and WWII, I came across a post on her pre-novel, Pomfret Towers at the blog, Clothes in Books. The site is new to me and what a find! Good for readers and authors alike. The photo shown here appears in the post to illustrate the apricot-silk-lined rabbit-fur cape given to shy Alice Barton by her mother to give her confidence on her first ever weekend away from home alone at a house party. To help visualize it from the front, click here. And for a write-up of the novel with images of various covers for it, click here.
