George Orwell the grumpy hard-worker

Kate biography, George Orwell, literary history, nature, now posting on Vulpes Libris, outdoor adventure, political / social commentary, Sonia Orwell, the life of the times, the world of work, wartime January 13, 2016

Over on Vulpes Libris I’ve been writing about the first edition of George Orwell’s letters, essays and journalism, from 1968. What a bloke. And about Sonia Orwell’s editing. What a powerful woman.
