Still on a high from a delectable afternoon spent in the company of Natasha Bell at the dreamy @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk signing copies of her brand-new novel 🙌

And of course if you’ve already read the first few pages you’ll know it really had to be the LRB where we met… 📚

I'm still very proud of my 2011 biography "Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan". I unearthed significant new information about his earlier life (before the age of 30), which helped me to put together a more coherent portrait of the man than in many previous accounts.

The author of The Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, HMS Pinafore and the other great Savoy libretti, W S Gilbert, witty, caustic and disrespectful, was one of the celebrities of the late Victorian age....

Delighted to welcome Something Black in the Lentil Soup by @reshmaruia.bsky.social to the Renard list. First published 20y ago, set 30y before that, following young great-poet-to-be Kavi as he stumbles through the London literary set, it’s a joy to bring this comic gem back into print 🙌

Out 16/9!

Allow us to reintroduce you to some fab fiction from the inimitable @bookwormvaught.bsky.social. If you’ve read any of Anna’s novels before, you’ll know her lyrical, measured, occasionally cheeky, always stylistically unafraid voice…
