Huge congratulations to Tess Gunty. What a fabulous achievement, and such a mesmerising novel.
Pick up your copy in store today.

ICYMI, last night we announced the winner of the inaugural Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize, The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty 🎉

Our booksellers were mesmerised by the playfulness and psychological precision of this stunning debut novel. At once brilliantly inventive and compulsively readable, The Rabbit Hutch follows a varied and memorable cast of characters and revolves around an affordable housing complex in a declining post-industrial Rust Belt town.

Wild, funny, and unforgettable, The Rabbit Hutch is, at heart, a love letter to human connection and the hope that can be found in the most unexpected places. Available here: https://bit.ly/3Kmxh46

So sad to hear of the passing of Shirley Hughes. What a fantastic, engaging children's writer, who truly understood her audience. Dogger remains a personal favourite. RIP.

We're extremely sad to hear of the passing of Shirley Hughes. Having written and illustrated over 200 books, Shirley was a master of creating beautiful characters that stand the test of time. A world without Alfie or Dogger would be a world lacking. On the impact of her books, she once said ‘What even tiny children can do with a book is make their own personal exploration of a story’, and we hope Shirley’s stories and illustrations will continue to bring joy and delight to readers around the world.

'Shirley Hughes was an exceptional and wonderfully unshowy picture-book creator: she created vivid unforgettable photo dramas out of the small and quotidian details of domestic life - the heartbreak of a lost toy, the unforgettable adventure of a day at the beach, the shock of being locked in, at home alone. Christmas, fireworks, birthdays, starting school, little sisters and big brothers, Shirley had a story for all these seminal moments in a child’s life and her stories are timeless. From her Alfie tales, to Lucy and Tom, and Dogger, her pitch-perfect writing and finely-turned illustrations always captured something essential about what it is to be a young child. I am very proud, along with many of my colleagues, to have published so many of them.’ – Francesca Dow
