News that Handheld Press is closing this year just made me bump Sylvia Townsend Warner to the top of my buying list (not that I'm recommending publishers announce they're shuttering to get me to buy books).
She' been on my radar ever since I discovered Arthur Machen was her uncle.
I'm trying out Of Cats and Elfins: Short Tales and Fantasies (sounds like a good combo).
I'm also curious to try her novel Lolly Willowes (1926), whose apparent mix of witchcraft with realism is very unusual for fiction of that time.
