Welcome to The Bookseller Crow on the hill, neighbourhood bookshop to the Fresh Air Suburb .

150 years or so ago, the view from here, looked like this. There was no London, at least not that you could see from here.

 

In celebration of the Crystal Palace Triangle Festival - when all manner of events will be happening including lots of live music, 5 separate markets (count 'em) and free rocket rides for children under 5 (!!) - we are delighted to say that Viviane Schwarz will be signing copies of the truly wonderful There Are Cats In This Book, and not only that, but as importantly, KNITTING a CAT!

More details (and cats) here.
