    Hello everyone, and this is just a brief note from me today, as I’m preparing my second post on E.H. Young’s novel Miss Mole, due tomorrow. This past week I’ve enjoyed spending time in Cambridge University Library reading through some of her other novels, seven of which were reissued as Virago modern classics in the 1980s. All have excellent prefaces, with insights on Young’s life and work which I look forward to sharing with you.</
