What happens when one of the greatest writers of all time decides to think like a dog?
Woolf! Woolf! is a beautifully illustrated and playfully imagined tale that transports readers to the late summer of 1926, inside the whimsical world of Virginia Woolf and her beloved canine companions. As she wrestles with writer’s block in her retreat at Monk’s House, Virginia finds inspiration in the mischievous antics of Grizzle, a clever and free-spirited terrier. What begins as a stolen box of matches soon turns into a delightful game—one that makes Virginia question the boundaries between human and animal, art and play, structure and spontaneity. In a moment of pure abandon, she drops to all fours and barks right alongside her four-legged muse. Woolf! Woolf!
With lyrical prose and expressive artwork, this book captures the essence of creativity, companionship, and the profound bond between a writer and her dogs. A tender and humorous homage to Virginia Woolf’s love for animals, this story reminds us that sometimes, the best way to find our voice is to listen—to the rustling leaves, the ticking clock… and maybe even to a dog’s laughter.
