How our story began ...

Founded by Cassie, a lifelong book dragon with a passion for beautiful books, our independent bookshop is a haven for readers of all kinds.

From timeless classics to new bestsellers, historical fiction to cosy fantasy, every book on our shelves has been carefully chosen with love. We believe in the magic of independent bookshops – their warmth, their charm, and the joy of discovering a new favourite recommended by someone who truly loves books.

That Little Bookshop is more than just a shop – it’s a space to slow down, browse at your leisure, and curl up with a great read and a hot drink. Whether you’re looking for your next literary adventure or simply a quiet place to unwind, we’re here to welcome you with open arms (and maybe even some cake!).
