The Second Persephone Readers Weekend

‘I found it pure pleasure from start to finish. The programme was excellent, as were all the speakers. Frances Spalding set the tone with her fascinating opening talk on Bloomsbury – there was never a dull moment.’ JS, Worcester

‘It was the first time I had spent a night in a college in Cambridge: beautiful settings and peaceful surrounding. Pleasant company, interesting talks.’ JB-B, London W1

‘Not only was it marvellously stimulating but it was the greatest fun, and, for me, there was the additional bonus of finding seven others (at least) who came from Cornwall. All the speakers were excellent and some – I think of Henrietta Garnett’s talk about her Great-Grandfather – were utterly brilliant.’ AC, Fowey

‘Much good food for the soul and the food for the body was also delicious.’ CD, Oxford

‘A big thank you for the weekend, which I found totally exhilarating!’ OH, Winchester

‘The speakers were entertaining, stimulating and informative, especially Anne Harvey’s marvellous talk, which threw so much light on Noel Streatfeild.’ KC, Bushey

‘The weekend at Newnham was splendid in every possible way. Thank you all so much for such an engaging and stimulating two days. The speakers were, without exception excellent, the more so because each had her own style and atmosphere.’ JU,London N1

‘What a marvellous weekend! And a long train journey back to Scotland seemed to go like a flash as I was totally absorbed in Bricks and Mortar.’ AO, Fife
