Anne Olivier Bell, editor of The Diary of Virginia Woolf, a 25-year labor of love, has been awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours 2014. She was cited “For services to Literature and the Arts.”
Bell, of Lewes, East Sussex, is also a trustee of the Charleston Trust. In August, an article in The Guardian celebrated her part in repatriating works of art following World War II.
The film The Monuments Men, as those who protected the greatest works of art and buildings were called, will be released Feb. 7. It stars George Clooney as George Stout and Cate Blanchett as Rose Valland, a member of the French resistance who tracked down thousands of stolen works of art.

I’m a big fan and avid follower of Bloggingwoolf.com. Just thought you might be interested in the new website, http://www.somethingrhymed.com, which I have launched with my writer friend, Emily Midorikawa. Each month it will feature a different pair of famous author pals, and we will challenge ourselves (and you) to complete an activity based on a prominent feature of their relationship. This month we are looking at Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf, and attempting to revive the lost art of letter writing.
