Celebrating 90 years of bestsellers that make a splash

In the year that Penguin Michael Joseph turns 90, the launch of the Mermaid Collection is a fitting tribute to the wealth of female voices that they have brought to readers over the years, from Marian Keyes to Jojo Moyes, Sue Townsend to Claire Dougla, Liane Moriarty to Dawn French. This new collection focuses on unjustly neglected works of popular mid-to-late-twentieth-century novels written by women who address issues that remain relevant today.

Each Mermaid is introduced by a contemporary writer, reflecting on the author and book’s importance to the world in which it was published and its continued relevance today. And with gorgeous cover artwork and inside printing, these are as covetable, collectible and giftable as they are brilliant, so make room on your bookshelf - we guarantee you're going to want them all!
