Life and Letters was a literary magazine from Britain in the late 1920s and 1930s. Editor MacCarthy was associated with the Bloomsbury group. These four volumes each feature 4-8 pieces of creative or critical work. Some are by familiar names like Bertrand Russell, Constant Lambert, Andre Maurois, and Vita Sackville-West (writing of all things, about Ukraine). There are also advertisements interesting for their time and place.
