From the pioneering author Virginia Woolf, this pocket-sized essay
transports the reader back to the 1930s as she walks through London's
streets and loses herself in the imagined lives of the city's
inhabitants.
The narrator of this classic essay escorts the reader through the wintry
streets of London on her journey to purchase a pencil. Virginia Woolf's
mesmerising writing style allows the reader to delve into the minds and
lives of passersby as we tour her neighbourhood.

imaginative observations and vivid reflections on city life. Woolf is
widely known as one of the most influential modernist writers of the
20th century, and this classic essay offers a glimpse into the
innerworkings of her brilliant mind.
