Last year, a Google Doodle marked the occasion of Virginia Woolf’s birthday. This year, it’s a book 
offer.
Today, Jan. 25 only, in celebration of Virginia Woolf’s 137th birthday, you can purchase the ebook version of Virginia Woolf in Richmond for £4.99.
Meanwhile, read Woolf’s own diary entries written on her birthday or the day after from the years 1897 to 1941. Some refer specifically to the gifts she received, the things she did and the people she saw on her birthday. The last one, written on Jan. 26, 1941, the year of her death, does not.

thanks for reposting the birthday diary entries. It’s particularly poignant for those of us in our 60s & beyond to reflect on what she would have written had she lived on. I wonder what she’d have said about turning 63, 68, 72 &c. I like to think there would be new heights, continued bursts of creativity, appreciation of the joys of life.
You’re welcome, Alice. I, too, think they are so important. As you say, it would be wonderful to see her views as she aged.
