Stories by the Sea is a children's bookshop in the favourite seaside town of St Ives. This shop sells a vast array of wonderful children's books and likes nothing better than giving great recommendations. Come and join us to share the love of reading with all children and families. Bookish workshops are provided for children during holiday times.

Run by Heather (of Reading Rocks) a previous primary school teacher, we are experienced in supporting schools in book selection to match the curriculum, supporting author visits and curating bespoke book collections.

We offer book subscriptions for teachers and children. Do get in touch for further details. We also offer book gift boxes bundles including books and gifts on a theme, such as dinosaurs, space and baking. If you can't see the box you'd like, we can offer a bespoke box for you - just give us the theme and we'll find the books!
