Named by The Observer as one of the
UK's 50 most fabulous independent shops
Persephone Books reprints neglected fiction and non-fiction, mostly by women writers and mostly mid-twentieth century. All of our 143 books are intelligent, thought-provoking and beautifully written and are chosen to appeal to busy people wanting titles that are neither too literary nor too commercial. We publish novels, short stories, diaries, memoirs, poetry, gardening books and cookery books; each title has an elegant grey jacket, a ‘fabric’ endpaper with matching bookmark, and a preface by writers such as Rachel Reeves, Elizabeth Day and Lucy Ellmann.
