Tilly’s Nest Travelling Books

Tilly’s Nest Travelling Books At Tilly’s Nest we rescue second-hand books, and help them find their new forever home.

We are currently travelling Australia and I’m on a mission to visit as many secondhand bookstores along the way and top up little free libraries everywhere 💚📚

"Bookshops are places of endless entertainment and renewal - what's not to love?" - Andy Griffiths
💚📚

Renowned children's author Andy Griffiths, famous for the Treehouse series and the Just! books, started his creative life in a punk rock band, taught high school English, and was named the Australian Children's Laureate for 2026-2027.
He wrote gross-out and anarchic stories, like The Day My Bum Went Psycho, to prove to reluctant readers that books could be wildly funny and mischievous. Thanks Andy!
