It’s #WorldLetterWritingDay!

To celebrate, our author Liz Ison @liz.ison is reading one of her favourite letters from her upcoming anthology ‘A Literary Letter for Every Day of the Year’. The reason why she chose it…

“When I first read this letter I was overwhelmed by its beauty. It is a letter full of poetry and feels so alive, so authentic. This is about someone enjoying a fine autumn day, whose heart soars with the birds, a day ‘when life and nature harmonize’. It was language like this that inspired me to explore the letters of our great writers, and to create an anthology for readers showcasing the breadth and depth, and art of letter writing.

These words come from a letter written by Mary Ann Evans - or as she is better known, the great nineteenth century novelist George Eliot. Eliot was 21 when she wrote this; it would be another twenty years before her first novel Adam Bede was published. I love the vivacity of this letter; Eliot seems deeply connected to the natural world around her, and in tune to the changing seasons, and is so eager to find ways to communicate her feelings to her friend and correspondent, Maria Lewis, who was her former schoolteacher. This letter communicates pleasure. It’s a personal experience, a response to a lovely day, and one, I hope, that readers of today will also enjoy.”
