Further Reading

Mrs Miniver and Try Anything Twice were last published in London in the paperback series Virago Modern Classics, both with introductions by Valerie Grove. An American edition of Mrs Miniver was published in 1990.

Editions and translations are described in my father’s illustrated Bibliography of Mrs Miniver and of the other books by Jan Struther, copies of which are at the British Library, London Library, Cambridge and Oxford University Libraries, National Library of Scotland, Library of Congress, and University of Pennsylvania Library (where Jan was awarded an honorary D. Litt. in 1943).

An Internet edition of Mrs Miniver, and of that Bibliography, can be freely downloaded from the first of the following list of useful websites:

www.bigfoot.com/∼idds/home/janstruther.htm is my cousin David Drew-Smythe’s ‘Jan’ web page, which also has links to: www.reelclassics.com/Movies/Miniver/miniver.htm which includes many articles about the 1942 film and its cast.

www.google.com if searched under ‘Jan Struther’ or ‘Mrs Miniver’ will reveal hundreds of more or less relevant websites, including those listed above.

www.digital.library.upenn.edu/books is the ‘On-Line Books Page’ of the University of Pennsylvania. Links to Author/Struther will lead to the text of the following works, freely available on the internet: Mrs Miniver, Try Anything Twice, her hymns, and all poems printed in her five volumes of collected verse.

robert@sandwichkent.freeserve.co.uk is my father’s email address. He has available for sale, by post, some copies of the Futura paperback of Mrs Miniver (1980).
