The Dabbler would like to congratulate Alexandra Harris, who last night won the Guardian First Book Award.
Romantic Moderns presents a radical interpretation of the cultural history of Britain between the wars. Alexandra was up against books from all genres including fiction (previous winners include Zadie Smith and Jonathan Safran Foer), so winning with a serious non-fiction work represents a significant coup.
Alexandra has of course Dabbled in these parts, on the cultural significance of Stonehenge and on the remarkable Shell Guides series.
Talking of prizes, don’t forget that you can win a lovely Christmas Fox book, in our competition.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again – It’s a very good book!!
I’ll second that. Congratulations to Alexandra.
Congratulations! Good party?
Yes, congratulations, young lady!
