I Always used to go here to get the Phoenix comic! The staff are really nice and help you find the perfect books. Some of my favourite books have been from here. They have options from kids aged from 0 to around 13 ! For adults I wouldn't recommend as they are mostly for younger children but all in all a brilliant little shop. The one near catford is Also worth a visit.

I visited for a book launch for Mo O'Hara, and I was pleasantly welcomed. The book shoop is filled with children's books of a wide variety, with little trinkets or games you can buy as well, like crayons or top trumps cards. Very nice. It is also in a very nice area that is clean and has food restaurants, plus is friendly to families, so if you're having a day out it's easy just to nip inside and look at some books! Furthermore, the people working at the till were very kind and cheerful, which added to the ambience of the place. Would dearly recommend as a place to introduce young children to the

I was really struggling with finding some good books for my 6 year old to read so I popped in to Tales on Moon Lane for some advice. The assistant was very knowledgeable and suggested 9 books. I only intended to buy 1 but bought all 9 (as a birthday present) as they all sounded excellent. And my daughter has loved them all. Highly recommend.
