Virginia Woolf was undoubtedly one of the literary giants of the twentieth century. She was a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group, and her writings were works of astonishing originality.

Nigel Nicolson is the son of Vita Sackville-West, who was Virginia Woolf's most intimate friend, and for a short time her lover. He spent many days in her company and he has threaded his recollections of her throughout this unique narrative of her life.

About the Author

Nigel Nicolson, the younger son of Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West, was a publisher, a Member of Parliament, an editor (including six volumes of Virginia Woolf's letters and three of his father's diaries) and the author of many books on history, politics, architecture and literature. He lived at the family home, Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, now a property of the National Trust, until his death in 2004.
Industry Reviews
All you need to know about the modernist, feminist icon ... If only all literary lives were as succinct - TIME OUT

From his unique position, Nigel Nicolson is able to combine intimacy with scholarship ... an excellent introduction to her life and work - MAIL ON SUNDAY

This lucid portrait is a gem - SUNDAY TIMES

As a short introduction to Virginia Woolf this deceptively brief book could hardly be bettered and achieves high status instantly as a significant work of reference in its own right - THE TIMES

This little book is not only a delight to read but also of lasting importance - SPECTATOR
