Persephone Books
Persephone Books is an independent publisher based in Bloomsbury, London. Founded in 1999 by Nicola Beauman, Persephone Books reprints works largely by women writers of the late 19th and 20th century, though the company also publishes a few books by men. Their catalogue of 135 books[1] include fiction (novels and short stories) and non-fiction (diaries, memoirs and cookery books). Each book has a grey dustjacket and endpaper using a contemporaneous design, with a matching bookmark.
