Join the Bath Group on Thursday 13 March from 6pm for a talk from Nicola Beauman, founder of Persephone Books, on the history of the publishing house and 20th century books.
The shop is housed in Grade II Listed building, built in 1761.

The first floor, the piano nobile, was a hairdressers for thirty years and is now the Persephone Bookshop, where Persephone host book groups, lunches, small concerts, informal film showings and seminars. This event is not to be missed!
