Leonard rented the Georgian house for Virginia's recovery after the breakdown of 1913, and in March 1917 they bought a small printing press and taught themselves to set type as therapy; the first book was their own Two Stories, and within six years the press on the dining-room table had published Katherine Mansfield's Prelude, T.
