THE ANGELA THIRKELL SOCIETY

The Society was founded in 1980 when the aims and constitution were established. It has at present (2002) around 150 members in the UK, Ireland and Europe, with a thriving branch in North America, and members in Australia and New Zealand. Branches in Dublin, Wirral, Sussex and Yorkshire hold their own local meetings throughout the year as well as attending the national meetings and outings usually held in the late spring and late September.

The Society produces an annual Journal containing articles of interest to readers of the novels of Angela Thirkell, as well as newsletters. It has also published articles and short stories by Angela Thirkell, and a childhood memoir by her youngest son, Lance. Lists of available copies of second-hand books by Angela Thirkell are circulated.

Most Thirkell titles in the UK can now be found only in second-hand bookshops, but three were reissued by Penguin in 1998. Some titles have recently been issued in large print by Isis Publishing, Magna and Ulverscroft.

Further information is available from the Secretary.
