The Bookshop Book

An epic fantasy adventure through cosy, cluttered bookshops, set in the world of The Library Trilogy. Bookshops have always been places where worlds collide. Places where ideas make war, where cultures meet and mate. Frederick 'Red' Archer is hanging on at the edge of society when he wanders into a bookshop that will change his life. Rose Penrose is fleeing from story to story, exiled by violence, searching for her own. Behind them both is the Great Smith, who has shaped their pasts and is watching their futures — for his own purposes. A story has them all in its jaws. And it is about to bite.
