The Harp Remembered is a collection of writing by Walt Willis compiled by Dave Langford and published in November 2023 by Ansible Editions.
The TAFF Free Ebooks site describes it as:
including everything from the monumental Willis compilation Warhoon #28 that's not already available in TAFF ebooks, plus much further material – some of it never before collected. From Warhoon there are extracts from his first fanzine Slant (here with several extras), the long autobiographical sequence of fannish reminiscences "I Remember Me", several standalone articles, and the "Epilogue" chronicling Walt’s increasing distraction from fandom by his work as a senior civil servant in Northern Ireland during a resurgence of the Troubles. But he was to return.... In addition, The Harp Remembered contains the legendary Irish Fandom Christmas Cards (each in fact a mini-fanzine) and a mass of previously uncollected articles and compilations of fanzine columns other than the famous 'The Harp That Once or Twice' (separately collected in its own TAFF ebook): "The Outpost", "Plinth", "The Perforated Finger", "The Prying Fan" (as revived for Pulp) and "The Warier Bard". The main text ends with a tasty selection of shorter items and extracts, from one-liners to one-pagers. Also included as an Appendix are appreciations by Ken Bulmer and Vin¢ Clarke, and a corrected and expanded version of the Willis bibliography from Warhoon #28.
