OUR WINDOW
Customers who browse our Christmas window display will discover
the start of a delightful story/prose-poem and many will be tempted
to continue the story-trail that continues throughout the inside of
the shop . Just follow the stars.
It
is a lovely tale, especially created by our 'resident writer' Ian
Claridge. It begins...
In the country was a town,
And in the town a street,
And in the street a bookshop,
And it was Christmas Eve.
And in the bookshop sat a man,
And before him lay a page,
And in his hand he held a quill,
And his message it relayed.
For in the rooms above the man,
His children were asleep,
And as they slept he honed a hope,
Of what their lives would be....

Many of
you will remember the huge Renault Clio advertising campaign last
year. It featured the Forest Bookshop in almost every glossy
magazine and weekend supplement in the UK. It came as a complete
surprise to us, but we decided it would not do any harm, so we did
not make a fuss. Renault did send us a nice framed copy of the
original artwork though. How flattering to be chosen as an icon for
independent shops.
