About this product

Product Information

Monica Dickens's first book, published in 1940, could easily have been called Mariana - an Englishwoman. For that is what it is: the story of a young English girl's growth towards maturity in the 1930s.We see Mary at school in Kensington and on holiday in Somerset; her attempt at drama school; her year in Paris learning dressmaking and getting engaged to the wrong man; her time as a secretary and companion; and her romance with Sam. We chose this book because we wanted to publish a novel like Dusty Answer, I Capture the Castle or The Pursuit of Love, about a girl encountering life and love, which is also funny, readable and perceptive; it is a 'hot-water bottle' novel, one to curl up with on the sofa on a wet Sunday afternoon. But it is more than this. As Harriet Lane remarks in her Preface: 'It is Mariana's artlessness, its enthusiasm, its attention to tiny, telling domestic detail that makes it so appealing to modern readers.'And John Sandoe Books in Sloane Square (an early champion of Persephone Books) commented: 'The contemporary detail is superb - Monica Dickens's descriptions of food and clothes are particularly good - and the characters are observed with vitality and humour.Mariana is written with such verve and exuberance that we would defy any but academics and professional cynics not to enjoy it.

Speedyhen certainly lived up to their name, the package arrived two days before the estimated delivery, so happy on that score. The parcel was extremely well packaged, and the contents exactly as described, and at a very competitive and value for money price. Very happy with my dealings with Speedyhen, and I have no hesitation in recommending them, or 'The Complete Calvin and Hobbes' collection.
