Nikki May, AJ Pearce, Andrew Hunter Murray - Live at the Persephone Festival

You're Booked

Here's a bonus treat! And what a treat! To celebrate the release of Daisy's brand new book Pity Party, here's a very special live edition of You're Booked recorded at the glorious Bath Assembly Halls. Three returning champions - Nikki May, AJ Pearce and Andrew Hunter Murray - talk about their favourite Persephone Books in front of an audience of rabid Persephone fans, at the recent Persephone Festival, celebrating 25 years of the UK's premier publishing house. Each author picked and discussed their Persephone faves, plus other Persephones they love, consider the books they'd love to reissue and reveal the influence that authors such as Dorothy Whipple, RC Sherriff, Winifred Watson and DE Stevenson have had on their writing. Be warned - this episode will add many tomes to your TBR pile.
