“We had a lovely chat with the owner, who is an impressively energetic and imaginative promoter of all things literary. We would definitely recommend you drop by if you're in the city!”

Another customer said: “What a lovely place to find! I came here yesterday with my daughter and was impressed by the whole shop and experience! Staff were friendly and helpful. They have an amazing range of books and many I had never seen before, particularly lots on folklore and druidry.

“They also have lots of lovely art for sale. They serve hot and cold drinks, and very nice cakes. As well as this, the atmosphere is lovely, with relaxing music and lovely incense too. Thanks to the staff for a great experience!”
