By Virginia Woolf

“Nothing but this: we have loved reading.”

Favorite quote: “But here, none too soon, are the second-hand bookshops. Here we find anchorage in these thwarting currents of being; here we balance ourselves after the splendors and miseries of the streets. The very sight of the bookseller’s wife with her foot on the fender, sitting beside a good coal fire, screened from the door is sobering and cheerful. (…) Books are everywhere; and always the same sense of adventure fills us.”

From the publisher: In the essay Street Haunting, Virginia Woolf escorts the reader through the wintry streets of London on her journey to purchase a pencil, transporting the reader back to the 1930s as she walks through London’s streets and loses herself in the imagined lives of the city’s inhabitants.
