The Perfect Excuse...
Published on Wednesday 30th January 2008
 With this week being the 8th annual Story Telling Week, we thought that (book club goer or not), now was the perfect time to share a little bookish gem with you.
The gem in question is Persephone Books  , and why? Because they reprint the most delightful forgotten classics from talented (but often neglected) twentieth-century writers.
Take the notion of a commercial bookshop and put it as far from your mind as you can; this unique and delightful collection features seventy five thought-provoking, unforgettable and beautifully written titles.
The carefully selected novels, short stories and cookbooks (It’s Hard to Be Hip Over Thirty, Good Evening Mrs Craven, Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day and Kitchen Essays are just a few of our favourites) are all beautifully presented in Persephone’s signature dove-grey jacket each complete with its own stunning endpaper, making them the perfect gift or addition to your bedside table and/or book club list.
So turn off the TV / laptop / ipod and use this week as the perfect excuse to curl up with a good story.
