Morning,
I’m here until 4pm today (Saturday October 10th) Kids book swap is going on until around 12.30pm
It is - although as I always say, I feel like a bit of a cheat celebrating because TT is such a small place!
The message is to buy your books from local bookshops - and I’m all about that! If you can’t get to a bookshop do consider using Bookshop dot org!

Hello, I'm Les and I am the owner of Tell Tales. Welcome to my world! My small, but perfectly formed, children's bookshop is my happy place! I love seeing books go to their new homes to be read and loved. To help develop imagination, empathy, build knowledge and provide escape routes to other worlds...

I’ve pinched Warrington Scoop ‘s idea and created a Wordle! It’s, obviously, got a bookish theme. Let me know how you go!

Guess the hidden word in 6 tries. You can also share your own word!

I think this means I have elements of being a pluviophile!
If you’re out and about - do call in for a cup of tea & a slice of cake and we can watch through the window! (Although, I do have the door open so I can hear it too!)

Good morning,
I hope those of you who don’t work weekends have got that Friday feeling! And those of us who do, I hope you are working with a great team!
I’ll be here at TT 10.30am until 6pm today (Friday October 9th)
Tomorrow ( Saturday October 10th) at 10.30am until around 12.30pm, there is the children’s book swap. So if your child is looking to part with a book or two & find something new to read this might be the place for them! ( please be aware I have no storage space here at TT - so the amount of books brought must equal what is taken!😂)

Have a wonderful weekend
Sending love,
Les xx

Halloween Half Term is getting spooky in Warrington!

I’m SO excited to be heading to Tell Tales Books bookshop in Warrington, for a day of spooky bookish making on Friday 30th October!

Family Halloween Workshop | 2–3pm
Bring along your little mini maker and create your very own Halloween Pumpkin or Frankenstein!

This fun 1-hour session is perfect for families, and you’ll both go home with your very own handmade Halloween sculpture to decorate your home with!

Then, in the evening…

Adult Witches Hat Workshop | 7–9pm
Join me for a spooky evening of book folding and creative making as you transform a book into your very own witches hat sculpture!

It’s going to be a lovely spooky day of bookish creativity, and I can’t wait to be part of the very first workshops at Tell Tales!

I’m not one to blow my own trumpet - but, honestly, some great bargains on this live! Some books you could most definitely squirrel away for birthdays, Christmas etc! ❤️📚📚
I’ll leave it on the page until around lunchtime tomorrow.
Loads of love,
Les xx
