Persphone Books...

Persephone Books reprints neglected classics by C20th (mostly women) writers.

Persephone prints mainly neglected fiction and non-fiction by women, for women and about women. The titles are chosen to appeal to busy women who rarely have time to spend in ever-larger bookshops and who would like to have access to a list of books designed to be neither too literary nor too commercial. The books are guaranteed to be readable, thought-provoking and impossible to forget.

With their distinctive plain grey jackets and cream 'labels' for the title wording, all their books look the same from the outside yet inside, each is different, with the endpapers chosen especially to match the date and mood of the book.
