If you’re looking for a slower kind of afternoon, you’ll find us tucked away in Tintern, waiting with plenty of books to get lost in.

Our window views are looking pretty lovely today… 💙🌿
Nestled in the beautiful Wye Valley, Stella & Rose’s Books has a rather special backdrop - rolling hills, the River Wye and plenty of countryside to admire between books! 📚✨
We think it’s a pretty perfect place to get lost in a good book. 💙

📚 Rare & collectible children’s books
If our books could talk… they’d definitely have something to say. 📚👀
And these three might have a little more to say than most, because they were both written AND illustrated by their authors. ✍️🎨
From Robert Lawson’s Robbut: A Tale of Tails to Jas. F. Sullivan’s The Flame-Flower and Other Stories and Here They Are Again!, these charming children’s books are a wonderful reminder of just how much personality can live between the pages.
