The act of reading ... begins on a flat surface, counter or page, and then gets stirred and chopped and blended until what we make, in the end, is a dish, or story, all our own.

Virginia Woolf’s 'Mrs Dalloway'
For all the time I regret spending (wasting) on Twitter and other social media, there are friends, and sometimes there's a gem, something I would have missed otherwise. This {a short film from the British Library} is just lovely, and now I'm longing to read the book again.

Is this the version with Michael Kitchen and Rupert Graves? I know there were actresses in it, but I couldn't get past Michael Kitchen and Rupert Graves :)
No...that's the movie with Vanessa Redgrave. This is a short film about the book. :)
Oh sorry, reading too fast & carried away by enthusiasm :)
Oh, this is excellent!! So happy you were "wasting" time on twitter and shared this with us :)
Somehow, I have never come to appreciate Virginia Woolf, not Mrs. Fallow at. However, I am looking forward to a reread of Frankenstein in memory of his "conception": when the idea was first begun in Mary Shelley's mind. So sorry not to have you listed in my post, off to amend that immediately! xo
Such an informative video. I am reading Woolf this year with a bunch of ladies on Instagrm, one book each month. Mrs. Dalloway was the one that I started with.
For crying out loud, it's supposed to say Mrs. Dalloway. Who the hell is Mrs. Fallow at, iPhone?
We knew that. :)
