More than any other British artist, Paul Nash revived the English landscape tradition in modern terms. In 'The Rye Marshes, East Sussex,' (1932) he brings his understanding of Cézanne on his search for a satisfying compositional design.

Very true. I think that subjectivity is what makes a biography feel more like a conversation than a catalogue.

I think that’s the classic biographer's trap: he brought a scalpel for Niven’s charm but a velvet cushion for his godfather’s legend.

In the words of the Master: “Everyone worships me, it’s nauseating” 😊

Thank you for this insightful look at C.J.C. Street; we love how you navigated his prolific output across John Rhode and Miles Burton, and it's especially rewarding for us at Dean Street Press to see the methodical charm of his 'Cecil Waye' era get such thorough appreciation.

Wonderful to see Eunice Mays Boyd getting such a spotlight; your background on the Bancroft Library and the discovery of those lost manuscripts adds a fascinating layer to her Alaskan mysteries!

Book cover for "Bel Lamington" by D.E. Stevenson. The design features a vintage-style illustration of a serene loch surrounded by rugged, golden-hued mountains under a soft sunset sky. A small boat rowed by a single person glides across the water. At the top, a stylized architectural drawing of a manor house with multiple chimneys sits above the title. The author's name is at the bottom alongside a quote from Kirkus: "a hallmark of gentleness..." All elements are framed within a deep forest green border.

The beginning of Bel’s story. 🌿 Our new look for Bel Lamington, the perfect companion to Fletchers End.

Review 2699: The Art School Murders In Morosini’s floundering art school, the body of a model, Althea Greville, is found behind the dressing screen. She was apparently murdered just after the life class in which she modeled. In…

I’m so glad you enjoyed the book, Kay! I actually think the introduction by Curtis Evans is a must-read as well. It adds a great deal of historical context to Moray Dalton’s work. He really is her biggest champion! #GoldenAgeDetectiveFiction #bookreview

Morley himself admitted he aimed for a more dispassionate approach there to peel back the 'bonhomie' and address the darker realities Niven often glossed over in his own memoirs. I’d love to hear what you think of the Audrey bio. Which was the third Morley biography you read?

This calls for lashings of ginger beer!

Text of a poem for my late brother.

At Dean Street Press, we believe in the power of the written word to transcend time. Today marks three years since we lost my brother, our founder. He spent nearly a decade helping curate the worlds our readers love to get lost in. We remember him today, celebrating his legacy on every page. ♥️

Thank you for this lovely post, Ali. Sweet dreams! 📚✨

Margaret Millar – one of the greats I have been diving into the works of favourite American crimewriter Ross Macdonald lately, for a reason that will pop up very short...

I've been rereading Margaret Millar & Ross Macconald for an upcoming podcast with Sergio Angelini @Tipping my Fedora. So here's a look at Millar, and more to come. Total spoiler - we love them both clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2026/03/marg...
