📚 October is National Book Month.

And what better way to celebrate than with a few favourites from our Folio Society collection?

From the beautifully observed short stories of W. Somerset Maugham, to John Keay’s sweeping history of India, and the dreamlike world of George MacDonald’s At the Back of the North Wind - these are three very different books, but each offers its own journey.

Perhaps that’s one of the greatest joys of books: there is always another world, another story or another subject waiting to be discovered.

And sometimes, the book itself is something worth keeping, too. 🤎

Discover more from our Folio Society collection at Stella & Rose’s Books.

The ones you find yourself turning back to.
The ones with beautiful illustrations, charming bindings and stories that have stood the test of time.
The signed copies, the first editions, the little treasures that feel just a bit too special to leave behind.

Because sometimes, a book is more than something to read it’s something to keep.

Discover your next treasure at Stella & Rose’s. ✨

“No man is an island, entire of itself…”

Written nearly 400 years ago, John Donne’s words still feel remarkably relevant today.

No Man Is an Island is a timeless meditation on human connection, belonging and our shared humanity - reminding us that none of us exists entirely alone, and that the joys and sorrows of one person can touch us all.

Some books are worth keeping simply because their words continue to mean something, generation after generation. 📖

Sorry I didn’t reply… I was busy. 📚

Busy browsing.
Busy getting distracted.
Busy finding “just one more” book.
Busy admiring the shelves.
Busy pretending I wasn’t planning to take half the shop home.

And then there’s the little problem of actually leaving… 🫣

A little bear, a hundred years of adventures. 🐻🍯
On 14 October 1926, A. A. Milne introduced the world to Winnie-the-Pooh in Winnie-the-Pooh. One hundred years later, these much-loved stories continue to capture hearts across generations.
A century of friendship, imagination and adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. 💛

Sometimes, the best escape is a familiar one. 📖🤎

For World Mental Health Day, we’re celebrating something wonderfully simple: the comfort of getting lost in a good book.

Whether it’s a story you loved as a child, a character who feels like an old friend, or a book that takes you somewhere completely different for a little while, there’s something special about returning to the stories that made us feel safe, happy and completely absorbed.

So if your brain needs a little escape today, why not revisit an old favourite?

And if you’re looking for a special edition to add to your collection, you might just find your childhood favourite waiting for you at Stella & Rose’s. 📚

There’s something rather lovely about an October afternoon in Tintern. 🍂

A wander through the village, the changing colours of the Wye Valley, and a little time spent surrounded by old books… preferably with nowhere else to be. 📚

If you’re looking for a slower kind of afternoon, you’ll find us tucked away in Tintern, waiting with plenty of books to get lost in.
