Apologies for the terrible photo, but this is the lovely little bookshop that Mr. Bibliomouse and I found in Stockholm, which has a sister shop in Upsaala, and is online here. Without wanting to sound twee, it is possibly the most charming bookshop I’ve been to in a long long time. As well as having the advantage of high ceilings and wooden floorboards, it had lovely and helfpful staff, there was a fab selection of gifts (Mr. Men mugs!) and the selection of English-language books was fantastic. Mr. Bibliomouse very kindly bought me the only copy of A Shilling for Candles, which was the only Josephine Tey book that I didn’t have, and had been looking for for years- it was so odd to find it in Stockholm.
All in all, we could have spent hours in The English Bookshop, if we hadn’t had some serious sightseeing to do, and definitely plan on going back when we’re next in Stockholm in the summer.
