And for the last Post before the shop closes for August (although we Persephone girls will still be going in to 'fulfil' orders) it's appropriate to have the author without whom we might not exist: Winifired Watson. When Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day became a bestseller in 2001 we realised we had a longterm future and indeed that has been the case. Now, nearly twenty years since Miss P was first brought into the office by Henrietta, we wish all our loyal readers of the Post –whom we value so much – a peaceful and happy August..
