Back in August, I bought a copy of May Morris Designs: The Essence and Soul of Beautiful Embroidery by Lynn Hulse, published by the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford.

Of course, my intention was to review it for you pretty quickly.

But Did I?!? Nooooo.

Last week, I heard from Lynn, which prompted me to make a concerted effort to finish reading the book, so that I could write a thorough review.

But Have I finished it? Noooo.

And yet here I am, telling you about a book that I haven’t finished reading yet. But look, I’m more than halfway there! I Just don’t like to rush through this kind of book!

If you’re a fan of Morris and the era and you didn’t know this book is available, now you’ll know, and you can add it to your library.

Why would you want to add this particular book about May Morris’s work to your library? Well, numerous reasons – but I’ll quickly highlight the reasons that I think are most compelling.
