(Notes from Penguin Classics:)
A collectible hardcover edition of Virginia Woolf’s pioneering novel about a time-traveling sixteenth-century nobleman who wakes up in the body of a woman, with a new foreword by Andrea Lawlor, author of Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl.
First masculine, then feminine, Orlando is a young sixteenth-century nobleman who gallops through the centuries, from Elizabethan England and imperial Turkey to Virginia Woolf’s own time. Will he find happiness with the exotic Russian Princess Sasha? Or is the dashing explorer Shelmerdine the ideal man? And what form will Orlando take on the journey—a nobleman, traveler, writer? Man or... woman?

You don’t need to be a writer to enter my annual Write a Dear Reader Contest. The contest is writing for fun. Write about your pet peeve. (Mine is a sticky refrigerator handle. I grab the handle to open the door and Yuck, something is stuck to the back of the handle!)
Write about your pets. I have four cats and they have trained me. They each want to eat when-they-want-to-eat, and of course they each have different tastes…
”Do you want chicken and gravy, salmon, or pate today?” No kidding, I stand there in front of the cat and ask that question! It’s gotten so out of hand I’m considering handing out a menu questionnaire for them each to fill out for the upcoming day.
I’d love to read your entry. Write about anything, but start writing. To read last year’s winning entries and information about rules, deadlines and cash prizes, go to: https://www.dearreader.com/contest2024/index.html
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
