We have a toyshop in our bookshop! Housed with our childrens’ books is a fantastic range of children’s toys from pocket money stretch-men to giant plush Giraffes. As with our books we stock toys that we know children love, learn and have fun with - nearly all have been road-tested by our own three children! Here is a small selection of some of the wonderful brands we stock. If you are a nursery or school we will be happy to help with selection and ordering.
