If cats could read…. #booksky #catsky

They say never meet your heroes but I’d give my right arm to chat with Raymond Briggs. The next best thing - visiting the street where he grew up in Wimbledon, where he set ‘Ethel and Ernest’, and which also inspired ‘The Strange House’ #booksky

“Classics to bewitch a new generation” We are thrilled to see this lovely review of our brand new book - The Strange House by Raymond Briggs - in the @irishtimes.com today. What a wonderful way to start the week 📚 #booksky

Finally got my hands on this beauty of a book by @ronanhession.bsky.social - the bookseller (at Backstory in Balham) said she enjoyed it even more than Leonard and Hungry Paul, so I can’t wait to dive in as I LOVED that novel 📚🙏👀 #booksky

Imagine writing a series of bestselling books as an independently successful woman at the turn of the 20th century, and then aged 36 your fiancé uses the plot lines from one of your novels to kill you for your inheritance… The Fly on the Wheel by Katherine Cecil Thurston - read it and weep #booksky

“Life-affirming” “A tonic for our times” It has taken us 2 years but we can finally share our news - we can’t wait to republish this memoir set on Broadway from the pen (or should I say typewriter) of Helene Hanff, author of 84, Charing Cross Road and former theatrical novice.

I’m so proud to be the newest publisher of this rediscovered book, following in the footsteps of all those before me who recognised the unique + timeless talent of Raymond Briggs. It is an honour to reproduce this work - his stories and illustrations - in such a gorgeous new edition #thestrangehouse

Coming soon - Underfoot in Show Business by Helene Hanff. A brand new edition of the author’s Broadway memoir, written in her trademark whimsical style, and introduced by her cousin - the best-selling author Jean Hanff Korelitz #booksky 💙📚 manderleypress.com/shop/p/underfoot

I’m in the middle of an informal photoshoot for The Strange House - our newly rediscovered children's classic by Raymond Briggs. I found some vintage toys as props but have had to pause to play Pika-Styk... 💙📚 #booksky #classic #newbook

This autumn we are taking the Manderley Press show on the road! Come and join us at @waterstonesbath.bsky.social and the Whitby Literary Festival. More info over at manderleypress.com/book-events #booksky

Find out more about the flooding of the river Arno in 1966 + the literary inspiration that followed tinyurl.com/7zm3m739 #booksky

I love this article about the mythic Britain recreated in the novels of Rosemary Sutcliff, as written by @arisroussinos.bsky.social for @unherd.com. This is exactly why we reprinted a new edition of her wonderful novel Sun Horse, Moon Horse: unherd.com/2025/08/how-to-revive-mythic-britain #booksky

Joyous current read: Muckle Flugga by @michaelpedersen.bsky.social - the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson runs strong! #booksky

Spotted in the wild! Our book ‘Mary Shelley in Bath’ - in a bookshop in Bath itself! If you’re passing by @toppingsbath.bsky.social you can find this stack by the tills! 📚👀🛁 #booksky #bath #maryshelley

The evolution of a book cover. Artist Eleanor Macnair created a unique illustration for our title ‘Mary Shelley in Bath’, rendering a portrait of Mary in play doh and placing it on a background of the city of #Bath. Mary’s gaze was lifted, engaging directly with the reader… 👀💕📚 #booksky

Not long now until our next book is published - a rediscovered children’s classic by Raymond Briggs, fully illustrated and written by the author in the 1960s, and introduced by his former student Chris Riddell. Pre-orders are open! manderleypress.com/shop/p/strangehouse #booksky #manderleypress

The joy of finding your hotel has its very own library - I don’t often say this on holiday, but luckily it’s raining outside so I’m happily ensconced on the sofa with a bookstack to one side and a hot coffee to the other. Literary bliss! #paraty #pousadaliteraria #booksky

Is it just me or would this patterned sand make the best endpapers…? #booksky

Event alert! I’m honoured and thrilled to be taking part in the inaugural #WhitbyLitFest later this year. Join us in Nov to hear more about our project to republish the writer Storm Jameson who was born in Whitby and later became a founding member of @englishpen.bsky.social whitbylitfest.org.uk

The invariable issue with @manderleypress.bsky.social books is that they are SO BEAUTIFULLY packaged that one doesn’t want to open them!! 😍

Gosh, getting a @manderleypress.bsky.social book is like being in a romcom. This is the sort of thing that arrives at the loft apartment from the nerdy overlooked friend you fell out with in act two and it's so thoughtful you get married. (Ordered this for myself. Auditions open for the nerd role.)

Exciting book news! A title I’ve been working on behind the scenes for three years is nearly ready for me to officially announce! Watch this space for more details soon (and do sign up to our newsletter at manderleypress.com to hear all about it first!) #booksky #newbook

Every now and again a customer is on holiday in London and asks if I can drop or mail books to their hotel. I love to do this! I hope they have a great trip and leave with happy memories and a Manderley Press book! #booksky #indiepublisher

Last night saw the launch at @dauntbookspub.bsky.social in Oxford for the latest @manderleypress.bsky.social publication, Rosemary Sutcliff's Sun Horse, Moon Horse. We heard editor/critic Lucy Scholes in conversation with Tiffany Francis-Baker who wrote the introduction to this marvellous edition

"... a tin of powdered milk, a jar of peanut butter and two hard-boiled eggs." So ends Helene Hanff's Letter from New York dated June 1982. This is one of my favourite books by one of my favourite authors. So I HAD to republish a new edition. #booksky #helenehanff #newyork

"Please could you recommend the perfect book for Father's Day ... and then wrap and post it for me with a hand-written note?" - That would be a resounding YES!

On the Ramblings today, I share my thoughts on a marvellous book from @manderleypress.bsky.social - "Mary Shelley in Bath". More here! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2025/05/19/t...

With huge thanks to Malcolm Forbes and @engelsbergideas.bsky.social for focusing on our new book ‘Mary Shelley in Bath’ engelsbergideas.com/reviews/what-mary-shelley-did-in-the-shadows/

The Armourer’s House by Rosemary Sutcliff - a Tale of Tudor London. I loved this book so much as a child that it inspired me to read history at university and then to set up Manderley Press - precisely so that I could bring it back to life for a whole new generation of readers #booksky

The Uffington White Horse is a cultural icon that has captivated and enthralled generations of writers, musicians, poets and artists. We know it inspired Rosemary Sutcliff too! Just holding this new edition of her novel Sun Horse, Moon Horse feels magical #booksky

Just, you know, the time Fearne Cotton shared a photo of our book Letter from New York by Helene Hanff on Instagram. No big deal. (Publisher leaps around kitchen, whooping and doing a jig.) Yours, playing it cool, always, Rebeka x #booksky

Ready steady post… It’s go time! Orders have gone from plentiful to down right crazy. I’m not complaining though - as an indie publishing business owner I’m in seventh heaven. Bring it on! Coffee first though? #booksky

A spot of bibliotherapy - in the form of wrapping books. The first 100 pre-orders of Sun Horse, Moon Horse by Rosemary Sutcliff have left the building, and tomorrow is another day! Keep your eyes peeled for Manderley Press deliveries - coming soon to a letterbox near you… #booksky

A fascinating read and an honour to be mentioned in this @irishexaminer.bsky.social article by @karlwhitney.ie all about unearthing lost books (in which I discuss our new edition of Washington Square by Henry James, introduced by Colm Tóibín) #booksky

A pair of rediscovered books by Rosemary Sutcliff. Both illustrated to perfection by Isabel Greenberg, linking Iron Age Oxfordshire to Tudor London #booksky

Just a few of the books that inspired us to republish Sun Horse, Moon Horse by Rosemary Sutcliff - a rediscovered historical novel about the iconic white horse of Uffington near Oxford #booksky
