A Note of Explanation is a previously unknown story by iconic author Vita Sackville-West. Originally written in Sackville-West’s own hand on pages no larger than a postage stamp, the story has remained unpublished since the 1920s. The miniature book continues to reside in the library of the world’s most elaborate dollhouse: Queen Mary’s Dollhouse, which is on display to the public in Windsor Castle. Now published for the first time, A Note of Explanation is the story of a fashionable and inquisitive time-traveling sprite who pops in and out of fairy tales and has “a genius for being in the right place at the right moment.” Lovers of literature and history will rejoice in this irresistible collector's item and one-of-a-kind literary gift.
