The Yellow Wallpaper And Selected Writings
Her best [novels] are sheer delight, and all of them companionableQuiet, paradoxical, funny and sad, they have the iron in them of permanence too -- JOHN UPDIKE, NEW YORKER
She can be seriously, hilariously funny - no other novelist has celebrated our national silliness with such exuberance -- KATE SAUNDERS
I am a huge fan of Barbara Pym -- RICHARD OSMAN
She is the rarest of treasures; she reminds us of the heart-breaking silliness of everyday life -- ANNE TYLER

Barbara Pym (1913-80) was born in Shropshire and educated at St Hilda's College, Oxford. When in 1977 the TLS asked critics to name the most underrated authors of the past 75 years, only one was named twice (by Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil): Barbara Pym. Her novels are characterised by what Anne Tyler has called 'the heartbreaking silliness of everyday life'.
