The Handheld Classics are new editions of fabulous forgotten fiction and lost authors, with introductions by experts and astonishingly useful notes.
The Handheld Research books bring you stories from scholarly research, in plain English.
Our Handheld Modern list presents excellent modern fiction from living authors. (This list is no longer being developed, but our Moderns are still very good.)
Our books are stocked in bookshops worldwide: please ask your local bookshop to order what you want, and check their shelves as well.
You can also order from us! We post orders to the UK, USA and Canada on the next working day, and all our books are in stock at the office. (We can also post elsewhere in the world: just ask.)

Jane’s Country Year
to be published on 18 January 2022
Malcolm Saville’s classic novel from 1946 is about eleven-year old Jane’s discovery of nature and country life during a year spent convalescing on her uncle’s farm, after having been dangerously ill in post-war London. The novel is also a record of rural England eighty years ago, written by one of the great twentieth-century English nature writers.
