So much more dynamic than a picture of the dove grey cover. <br /><br />I love Whipple too and am so happy that Persephone has published all of her novels I believe. In any case, there are more for me to buy and read and I really look forward to that.Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-72219381245008925822016-12-29T04:58:38.082-08:002016-12-29T04:58:38.082-08:00I love Whipple so I'm chuffed that you chose i...I love Whipple so I'm chuffed that you chose it for this challenge. And I love the photo of the original Whipple editions -- is that the Persephone store? I actually have that same edition of Because of the Lockwoods which I bought before Persephone reprinted it. I might have to start collecting original Whipples now. . . . <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for participating in the challenge!

It makes you wonder what current bestselling author will sink in to obscurity 50 years from now<br />Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-85813866324841934812016-06-21T22:36:13.104-07:002016-06-21T22:36:13.104-07:00I've somehow never even heard of Dorothy Whipp...I've somehow never even heard of Dorothy Whipple!

But I love both, so the comparison is probably pretty apt!Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-927098956199060247.post-49100481670405395642016-06-21T15:53:47.713-07:002016-06-21T15:53:47.713-07:00Not having read Whipple, the overall tone and sett...Not having read Whipple, the overall tone and setting remind me of Barbara Pym...JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.com
