I thought I'd start a new wishlist thread so that we can post here to aid our Santas!

These are some Viragos that I would love to fill my collection with:

Miss Marjoribanks - Mrs. Oliphant
Phoebe Junior - Mrs. Olphant
This Real Night - Rebecca West
Sunflower - Rebecca West
Cassandra at the Wedding - Dorothy Baker

I'm keen on a couple of Persephones too:

Dimanche and other stories by Irene Nemirovsky
Guard Your Daughters by Diana Tutton

Hopefully this will help Santa!

>1 kaggsy: Thanks for updating us.

Here are some of the authors I look for in Viragos:

Angela Carter
Willa Cather
Rumer Godden
Storm Jameson
Jessie Kesson
Naomi Mitchison
Margaret Oliphant
Dorothy Richardson
Vita Sackville West
May Sinclair
Elizabeth von Arnim
Eudora Welty
Rebecca West
Edith Wharton
Christa Wolf

That's a good start! I do have some titles by some of these authors, but they should be listed in my LT library.
