Come along to our festive family drop-in sessions on the day of Pickering's Christmas lights switch on for a special winter storytime with poet and children’s author Olivia Mulligan!
We’re very much looking forward to welcoming Amanda Huggins to discuss her evocative new novella, The Blue of You. This is a beautifully layered and bittersweet story of memory, grief, home, and healing, set against the backdrop of our very recognisable north-east coastline. This is not a Christmas story, but is set around the holiday period, making it a perfect choice to read this time of year!
Join us for a winter special in the Book Tree… There’ll be literary cocktails, bookish socialising and seasonal reading. Enjoy a festive evening out, in the bookshop!
Author Toby Virgo will transport us to Victorian London where we once again meet Carter the Cabman in his haunting new short story, The Dead Who Bury Us, which is set on All Hallows’ Eve in 1888. Following the tradition of chilling stories on long nights over the Christmas period, we think this is a perfect way to celebrate the season!
