New Barfield Press edition of The Silver Trumpet forthcoming in 2025

8 Nov, 2024

The Barfield Press has been very glad to receive a goodly number of inquiries about when a new edition of Owen Barfield’s first book, The Silver Trumpet, a story written originally for children, will be published.

This is still more the case since we had been hopeful of publishing it in the earlier part of this year, 2024, and announced as much.

But to all those who have inquired, and to sundry others, we can say that the Barfield Press will publish The Silver Trumpet in 2025!

This was released recently. I'm a little disappointed it's a paperback edition, but will probably pick it up anyway:

This arrived today in paperback from Amazon. The copyright page mentions a hardcover edition, ISBN 9780956942395, that I can't find online. Maybe there's a hardcover edition still to come.

Letter link: Letter from C.S. Lewis to Owen Barfield • 28 June 1936 (#2212)

This book was a huge success with the Tolkien children according to C.S. Lewis, who lent it to Tolkien.

I emailed the Barfield Estate and they confirmed: "Yes, we hope to have the hardcover, and an eBook, available soonish."
