Collecting Persephone Books

[LadyTakingTea]

Does anyone collect these? I have 29 of them now. I haven't read them all yet.

What is your favourite and which one was disappointing?

I liked all the Dorothy Whipple books, The Hopkins Manuscript, Last Fortnight in September, Greengates, The Crooked Cross, Family Roundabout, The Victorian Chaise Longue and Harriet.

I was disappointed with National Provincial and I'm probably the only person alive who doesn't love, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day.

I'm about to start, The Prisoner-the follow up to The Crooked Cross

I've used quite a few of the recipes! Mostly cake and biscuits.

I can recommend To Bed With Grand Music by Marghanita Laski. Currently reading A Fortnight in September.

I like the Persephone book days/weekends.
Lovely Bath, always inspiring. Although I hope they shake up the speakers a little bit. Some of the talks are a bit 'samey'.
There's so much more, just read Penelope Mortimors Daddy's gone a hunting. The main character would definitely be on mumsnet -AIBU arranged illegal abortion for my daughter and she's being really hard on me.

Into the Whirlwind by Eugenia Ginsburg. What a story
