Books without words are some of the most powerful books out there. The Messenger by Lyndsay Roberts Rayne is no exception. It is the incredible story of how one small WW1 messenger dog made a huge sacrifice. It's a gentle but still very real introduction to themes of war and sacrifice.

Tomorrow is Bookshop Day and we'd like to say thank you to all of you who use us for your bookish needs! For one day only every purchase in the shop gets to choose something from this basket.
But don't tell Nicola, she doesn't know I've raided the prize box! 🫢😂

October's Book of the Month is here! A funny and charming collection of stories involving Pomona and her friends. Perfect for those who are moving on to reading a little bit by themselves or those who love a story story at bedtime.
Free print with every copy whilst stocks last.

Thank you again everyone who came to make a scarecrow yesterday. The bookshop is closed today but the Scarecrows are all still out in Lindley.
Please take a moment to like this post to show our young crafters how much you have enjoyed their hard work.

We have had some lovely feedback from a school after Nicola spent some time with the teachers just before the summer holidays.
If this is something your school would be interested in then please get in touch.
