A little gem in River John!

Hello! The book shoppe is closed for 2022 summer season BUT our dreamery- the grounds- around the book shop are open. You can still peek in Mabel Murple's house, say hello to the sheep and donkeys and critters, spot fairies or walk the labyrinth. You are welcome to wonder and wander. Please visit our website.. https://www.mabelmurplesworld.ca/ for more details! ENJOY! And stay tuned. We will grow on!

Read book after book after book after book!
