Wonderful morning with Dr Jess French at Guernsey Lit Fest Piccadilly Press 📖✨ talking to hundreds of children about rainforests, deserts, animals, and imaginary creatures. Now we all know what a Gibbon call sounds like!!

Bookshops are finding it harder and harder to stay afloat in these times. So when an idiot smashes a window it can really break the bank. If you can spare a tenner for this fundraiser to help a beautiful bookshop, please do. They are lovely people.

After our window was smashed on Saturday night we have had an overwhelming wave of support from customers and the book community asking how they can help. We have set up a gofundme page. Thank you so much for your love and support.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
