[Vwoolf] Woolfian Slugs

[Neverow, Vara S.]

Dear Joshua,

Fascinating! You have brightened my day.

Thank you so much for sharing this Woolf-related slug sighting. Kudos to Elisa Kay Sparks for her research on Woolf's slugs (pp. 22-24) and her inclusion in an article in the Guardian. (Issue 84 of the Miscellany also features an article on the famous snail of Kew Gardens [pp. 17-19]).

The issue itself can be accessed in the Guardian article and also here:

Helen Sullivan's article is very intriguing and very well researched. Slugs have 27,000 tiny teeth?! I wonder whether someone has responded to Sullivan's observations about Elisa's article and Woolf's slugs in the 100+ comments. (Haven't scrolled through yet....)

With gratitude,
Vara
