PERSEPHONE BOOKS

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.

The name Persephone was chosen as a symbol of female creativity, as well as of new beginnings (the daughter of Zeus is associated with spring).

Persephone titles are intelligent, thought-provoking and beautifully written. As well as novels they are known for publishing 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.
