5 out of 5 stars

“Fantastic place, especially for children, there was so many options of books and toys. But there is a lovely quiet room downstairs for adult readers with a fantastic selection of genres”

5 out of 5 stars

“My 4 year old asks to pop into this shop whenever we come to the city. The lovely lady in the shop introduced my daughter to some picture chapter books. She’s now completely obsessed with Unicornia and we’ve been back already to buy another one. Thanks for your help, we’ve really enjoyed the next step in our book journey.”
