SUMMARY:Lunchtime Lecture with Persephone Books
DESCRIPTION:Persephone Books published its first title in the spring of 1999. Founder Nicola Beauman’s original concept was to re-print a handful of ‘lost’ or out-of-print books every year\, most of them interwar novels by women. House of Books & Friends are so excited to welcome Nicola to present a one hour lecture with Q&A all about her journey into publishing\, life as a bookstore owner\, and answering the most important question of all: why are all the books grey? \nPersephone Books reprints neglected fiction and non-fiction\, mostly by women writers and mostly dating from the mid-twentieth century. All of their 147 books are intelligent\, thought-provoking and beautifully written. As well as novels\, they publish short stories\, diaries\, memoirs\, poetry\, gardening books and cookery books; each title has an elegant grey jacket and a patterned endpaper\, along with a matching bookmark. \n\nThe talk will be on Thursday 16th November and begin at 2pm for an hour. Tickets are £3\, and are available to buy here. \nWe will also have a limited number of Persephone books available to purchase in store on the day – a beautiful present for all your bookish pals. \n\nAs always we have a handful of free tickets for those who would like them. Please email bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.com to claim these.
