Housmans
radical booksellers
since 1945 |
CHILDREN'S
BOOKS
At Housmans, we have a small Children's Section (though for children of any size), where
we stock some popular children's fiction and also a variety of books for younger readers
on the peace movement and other radical traditions - issues which, surprisingly, don't all
get covered in our wonderful National Curriculum. The list below gives a selection of what
we have available in both categories.
Please remember that if you can't visit Housmans in person, we can quickly and efficiently
post you a copy of any book in print (and even a few that aren't). And if it's a title we have
in stock, it will normally be despatched within 24 hours of receipt of your order. For more
details of our mail order service, please see our main Books page.
