My #lastbookstacked. I love old-fashioned-girl stories, plus the illustrations are by Gwen Raverat, an author mentioned in Maud Hart Lovelace's diaries, so there's a slight #betsytacy connection. This might be my first Persephone purchase. Thanks for being an enabler, @LeahBergen! 😄 #seasonsreadings2016 #lastbookyoustacked

Next up! This forgotten children's favourite was written in 1872 and is now republished by #PersephoneBooks. It is full of wonderful illustrations and giving off a bit of a Frances Hodgson Burnett vibe (so far). Has anyone read it?

Lacythebookworm I haven't, but yay for a Persephone! Can't wait to hear how it is! 📚😍 8y

Emily92Bibliophile No, but now I know what my next Persephone book will be! 8y

JackieSmith It that a Poe mug? 8y

rubyslippersreads @Emily92Bibliophile Me too! 8y

LeahBergen @Lacythebookworm You pretty much can't go wrong with a Persephone book, can you? 😀 8y

LeahBergen @JackieSmith Yes! I just received it for Christmas and this is my first time using it. 😀 8y

LeahBergen @Emily92Bibliophile @rubyslippersreads It has a really sweet feel so far (a young girl hankering for an adventure ... a "dear Papa" who is widowed and works in the city ... THAT sort of thing ?). 8y

Eyelit I read it last year - certainly has a precocious girl! Enjoy 😃 8y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I'm also interested after seeing that the illustrations are by Gwen Raverat, whom I learned about via another favorite author, Maud Hart Lovelace.

Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood

DeborahSmall I really hope that's an edition I can buy here or I'm going to be really pissed off. 6 months until I'm in US! 8y

LeahBergen @Eyelit I'm liking it so far! 8y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I know!! Now I need to track down a copy of Period Piece (and on it goes 😂) 8y

LeahBergen @DeborahSmall I order these Persephone Books from the UK! 😀 Check out their webpage. They send awesome matching bookmarks with their books (and ask for their catalogue and quarterly!) 8y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I think I have an extra copy of Period Piece if you'd like it. 😀 8y

DeborahSmall @LeahBergen thanks, Amazon sell them but currently out of stock. I'll have a look at Persephone Books 👍🏼 8y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Ooo, really? Do you sell books? 8y

LeahBergen @DeborahSmall Careful!! You may go down a rabbit hole there! 😂 8y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen No, but I give extra copies to friends. 😀 8y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Oh, you are so sweet! I'd love it! 8y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen Email me: rubyslippersreads at yahoo.com 😀 8y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Yay!!!! 😘😘😘😘 8y

DeborahSmall @LeahBergen I seem to run and dive in every time! 8y

quirkyreader I might have to add this story to my Persephone pile. 8y

MrBook Looks like my copy of "Bottom's Dream"! 8y
