Vita Sackville-West has apparently written a book (it’s on order from the library) called Faces: Profiles of Dogs (1961). As we have just read Elizabeth von Arnim’s All the Dogs of My Life we shall soon be extremely well -nformed about women novelists and their dogs. This undated photograph may be of Pippin, the mother of Virginia Woolf’s dog Pinka. And the textile used on the armchair is interesting: it’s obviously Omega but which fabric is it?
