A grey Christmas is not one that I would normally look forward to, but when the particular shade being promised is Persephone Grey, things change rather dramatically! I am excited today as this morning I joined up for the Persephone Secret Santa which is being organised by Book Psmith. I think it's a wonderful idea to spread the Persephone love and bring together more like-minded people from the blogging community. If you're a Persephone fan, and haven't signed up already, do pop across to Book Psmith's site and have a look at the details.
After all, a Christmas guaranteed to bring at least one new Persephone will be a happy one even if the weather is as grey as these covers. (Thanks to Claire at Paperback Reader for bringing this scheme to my attention in the first place).As Sir W said (albeit on a rather different subject!) in his 1601 essay 'Of Conceit', such a delivery at the start of the festive season
'is a pretty gift to begin with'.

Thank you for joining in the fun and helping to spread the word. Hope you are fully recovered from your recent illness.
What a beautiful sentiment! It is indeed a pretty gift to begin with and a great way to start off the festive season!
Oh this sounds like such fun! I'll have to join - thanks for mentioning it!
Book Psmith: I am indeed much better now, thanks. And I'm very happy to spread the word about this -- I think it's a great idea! I'm glad it seems to be having an effect already!
