People told me I should read Edgar Wallace's Mr JG Reeder stories - and I listened and enjoyed. He's a dusty civil servant with a mind for catching criminals, and appears in neat short stories. And goes to 1920s London theatres... clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…

#OTD 1903 Object 19 in my new book was the scene of the formation of a new lobbying group - the Women’s Social and Political Union. ‘The British Women’s Suffrage Movement in 100 Objects’ tells you all about it - and what ensued. For details see link in bio. #votesforwomen

Audrey Hepburn with baby son Sean Ferrer in July 1960. Audrey, who had briefly starved during World War II had trouble having children and had endured multiple miscarriages during her marriage to Mel Ferrer, which left her suicidal. When Sean was born she was overjoyed, saying “it was like a miracle, because I wanted to be a mother more than I wanted my career.”

We have some news. This autumn we are opening a second Persephone bookshop – in London, in Fitzrovia to be precise. We had not actually been planning this, but by chance we heard about a 1767 four-storey house that had become available... More info here: persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/…

I love me a stage school book, and recently discovered a new and excellent one (from the 1960s, mind) via readers of my blog. The Ballet Twins by Jean Estoril clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…
