"Bookshops are the quiet pulse of the high street, places where, with each book browsed and each page turned, imagination can take flight. They are the gateway to stories we all cherish, whatever our age. I've been lucky enough to visit many beautiful bookshops recently, and the care they take in serving their communities is deeply heartening. From a party for local families and school talks with P&G Wells in Winchester, to an extremely jolly signing with Hungerford Bookshop, and a pleasingly large pile of international orders in Backstory Books in Balham, I feel honoured to have been supported by these and many more."
We ❤️ bookshops: where imagination can take flight 🚀
This World Book Day, we're thrilled to discuss the magic of bookshops with Hugh Bonneville, star of Paddington and author of Rory Sparkes and the Elephant in the Room! 🐘📕✨

What an AMAZING World Book Day we had in Liverpool today at their flagship event. I did drawalongs for kids, adults, even the mayor, signed a load of books for some amazingly dressed kids, and got to hang out with some of the nicest authors on earth. Thank you so much @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social 🥳
🥳 HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! I was lucky enough to chat to Sara Cox for the latest episode of Radio 2 Book Club, where we talked about all things WBD and Bunny Vs Monkey! You can listen to it on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts:
