Gorgeous literary haven with great books, lovely staff and free tea and biscuits.

An Aladdin's cave of books for children of all sorts from toddler board books to story books and purely educational. We were greeted with the offer of tea or coffee and help was on-hand at all times. It's a small shop and stacked from wall to wall. Books are also piled on the floor so it's quite tight but there is seating as well to just sit and read. Our child was in her element and we spent more than I would have liked.

Quite a most delightful find. Two Grandparents, 1 Daughter & two Grandchildren (7 & 11) arrived full of great expectations.... How wrong were we? We had grossly under estimated just how great it was going to be.... Offered FREE coffee & biscuits in comfy chairs, surrounded by the most staggering collection of children's books imaginable. Not only that but the lovely lady who met us had an encyclopedic knowledge of the stock (and the text within) imaginable. She and her assistant understood our grandchildren's likely, reading 'sweet spot', in mere seconds!
We spent a happy 90 minutes in other worlds and this lovely place. We all (and I mean ALL) came away with books we had no idea we needed, but thankful to have discovered.
This is now our must 'go to' destination in Norfolk and we must visit every time we are within 50 miles range.
Just simple, but real, magic.

An absolute treasure trove and quite possibly the best bookshop in the whole world. Fabulous and knowledgeable staff, warm and welcoming atmosphere and the most incredible selection of children's books. I cannot adequately describe what a true gem this shop is, so fortunate to leave close enough to visit!

Fabulous bookshop, with every children's book you could imagine, from birth to teen. Made to feel very welcome with free refreshments. Ladies there were very knowledgeable about children's books and recommended for my little boy whose idea of fun isn't always a book! Will return next time we're in Norfolk.

Simply outstanding children's bookshop. If I could give it 10 stars out of 5 I would. Complimentary drinks and biscuits, active encouragement to read the books before you buy them, friendly and knowledgeable staff and beautiful illustrations by visiting artists on the walls.

We visited with our 2 year old by spotting the sign on the main road. So glad we did as the selection of books was really good for all ages of children and the lady who served us was so helpful and friendly, so we treated the little one to a number of new books. Highly recommend and will definitely visit again when in the area 😃
