We misattributed a letter about gene editing to Christopher Price, CEO of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, when it was in fact written by Patrick Cosgrove (Your letters, 3 October, page 48). Mr Price’s letter can be read online here
The Japanese writer Hiromi Kawakami is a woman, not a man, as suggested by our reference to Strange Weather in Tokyo as “his 2013 book” (20 classic books by writers of colour, 3 October, the New Review, page 8).
A review of Lady Hale’s memoir Spider Woman said she sat with “10 male judges” for the supreme court prorogation hearing; in fact, she sat with eight male and two female judges (A tangled web she weaves, 3 October, the New Review, page 38).
A caption misspelled the surname of Michaela Coel, the actor, writer, producer and director, as “Cole” (Yes, the younger hires are diverse. But why does TV still lack black people in top roles?, 3 October, page 46).
Day’s Cottage, the Gloucestershire-based cider producer, is marking Apple Day on 17 October, not 23 October, as we incorrectly said; and some of the activities that we suggested were planned related to their 2019 event (Pomme tiddly pomme, 3 October, Magazine, page 33). Day’s Cottage has also asked us to make clear that its family-run farm is suitable only for a small number of visitors, particularly in view of Covid considerations.
