Street Haunting

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world`s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. `The hour should be evening and the season winter, for in winter the champagne brightness of the air and the sociability of the streets are grateful`. In such conditions, Virginia Woolf takes to London`s streets in search of a pencil. The account of her journey - the people, the places, the pleasure - soon becomes one of the great paeans to city life. This collection also includes other wonderful essays, such as `How Should One Read a Book?` and `The Sun and the Fish`.
