ABOUT THE ANGELA THIRKELL SOCIETY

Letter of Welcome from the Secretary of the North American Branch

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the the world of Angela Thirkell! The Angela Thirkell Society of North America has been formed to further the educational and literary interest in Angela Thirkell.

If you are a reader of Angela Thirkell who found us through the Internet, you are very welcome to join the many other readers who share a love of Angela Thirkell. Our goals are to increase awareness of the works of Angela Thirkell and of the Angela Thirkell Society, and to encourage Angela Thirkell readers to investigate our organization. We use your contributions and fees to further knowledge of Angela Thirkell through our book donation programs, to print our regular publications, and to provide reprints of Angela Thirkell work and related work which is considered too special interest for commercial publication. You will feel that you are visiting Barsetshire at one of these events. You can apply to join us using the form found at Application. If you would like to know more, send your name, address, and e-mail to: JOINATS@aol.com for further information.

Your donation of $15.00 to the Angela Thirkell Society entitles you to receive:·
The ATS Journal, published annually in the U.K.

Books and articles by or about Angela Thirkell as they become available·
Invitation to the ATS North American National Meeting held every other year at a location in the United States. The next ATS North American National Meeting will be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus, August 13-15, 2010.
Information about the U.K. ATS Yearly Meeting.

As Secretary, I have some additional goals for the Society:

To encourage the continued publication of Angela Thirkell works
To encourage people to have fun

To encourage us to communicate with other readers with similar interests.

Reading a good author is a way to build bonds between people, to share experience and to help the human community to understand one another. Electronics increases our ability to reach each other rapidly, and books enrich that experience by layering our perceptions with other thoughts, other ideas, other times and other people. Let's enjoy the insights, humor and warmth of experience that Angela Thirkell brought to the world.
The Mission of the Angela Thirkell Society:

To honor the memory of Angela Thirkell as a writer; and to make her works available to new generations.

To publish an annual Journal in which readers can share items of interest.

To encourage studies of Angela Thirkell's writing and to suggest lecturers on her books to literary societies.

To give those who enjoy her novels opportunities to meet and to correspond, and also to obtain copies of her novels.

We welcome your inputs and comments to the page, and hope to hear from you,

Barbara Houlton, Secretary
