Tell Tales Books

Hello, I'm Les and I am the owner of Tell Tales. Welcome to my world!

 My small, but perfectly formed, children's bookshop is my happy place! I love seeing books go to their new homes to be read and loved. To help develop imagination, empathy, build knowledge and provide escape routes to other worlds and times. I love to help with those choices - what an honour, what a pleasure...what a great job!

Of course, what I would like best is to talk books with you face to face. But if you are far from Cheshire and whilst our travelling and meeting is restricted, virtual browsing will have to do!

Oh! I also sneak in the odd book that is suitable for grown ups...so keep your eyes peeled!
