The London Review of Books is Britain's most esteemed literary magazine. Published fortnightly, it features essays, reviews and the most outrageous personal ads ever set in type. The following is a selection from the latest issue. 


*You've got to kiss a lot of frogs, etc. So, quantify "a lot"; are 972 sufficient? You could save me from this endless tallying by kissing me yourself. Handsome not required; charming would be good, also imaginative, philosophical, courageous, HHSB well connected, ageing well and regally, 60s.

*Unwilling to sacrifice her evenings to Julian Fellowes, young woman seeks alternative prime-time drama.
