I also have a Pan omnibus from the 80s with EW, Some Tame Gazelle & Jane & Prudence in it. It's quite chunky & awkward to hold but for ages it was all I had & I was grateful. Now, of course, I've gone mad! The Folio is beautiful. It's a lovely peach colour, which doesn't really come out well in the photos & the teapot & the vase are picked out in silver. I hope the Folio Society reprint more Pym with Debra McFarlane's lovely illustrations.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-25941832868571457592010-10-26T13:29:37.183+11:002010-10-26T13:29:37.183+11:00I was going to say that I loved the Penguin cover ...I was going to say that I loved the Penguin cover until I saw that great Folio edition. Then again I still love the Penguin cover. Maybe I need them both. I have read about half of Pym's output so far including <i>Excellent Women</i>. Love them all, but I think my favorite is her first novel <i>Some Tame Gazelle</i>.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-91850600204606399262010-10-25T19:03:16.061+11:002010-10-25T19:03:16.061+11:00Mystica, Virago reprinted it last year so I hope y...Mystica, Virago reprinted it last year so I hope you can get hold of a copy. Karen, EW never fails to cheer me up when I need a laugh. Verity, the Penguin edition is a US one. I didn't need it but I loved the cover & I love floppy American paperbacks so I couldn't resist. The Intro is by A N Wilson & I think it's the same Intro in the Virago hardback? I did resist the Virago hardback but I may still succumb to the Virago paperback as I have several of those & might want to complete the set. I'm just thrilled to see Pym back in print again.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-87680888277784923392010-10-25T18:51:53.999+11:002010-10-25T18:51:53.999+11:00I am such a Barbara Pym fan - I love her books.
