Why it's in the Cabin
A scarce first edition of a short story collection by Sylvia Townsend Warner which is currently out of print, after being briefly brought back by Faber in the last decade. Townsend Warner continues to be a hugely underrated author, but a crucial read for anyone interested in women's and queer literature from the 20th century.

Author
Sylvia Townsend Warner
Sylvia Townsend Warner lived and wrote guided by her radical politics. She was a member of the Communist party, an antifascist, and a supporter of the Spanish Republicans, which sharply distinguished her from many literary contemporaries. She was a lesbian, and lived openly with her partner Valentine Ackland. To us, an example of a life lived by your values, and of the personally inextricable from the political.
