I received my Persephone Biannually for Spring/Summer the other day. Persephone Books are reprints of neglected books - both fiction and non-fiction. Titles include novels, short stories, diaries and cookery books. They have a dove grey jacket and include a bookmark.
You can buy online or order by phone or post. (the Biannually comes with a free bookmark).
I've only bought two of these books so far -
No.6 - The Victorian Chaise-longue by Marghanita Laski - "Melly lies on a chaise-longe in the 1950s and wakes up as Milly eighty years before". A interesting and a bit of a scary read!
No. 57 - Dimanche & Other Stories by Irène Némirovsky - short stories by the author of Suite Francais which were written between 1934 and 1942.
There are many more titles I want to read though. Have you bought any of these books? If so, which do your recommend?
I'm a massive bibliophile and haven't heard of this before. Thanks so much for sharing!
