Have you heard about Mary who had a lamb? It was quite little. And its fleece was white. As snow. It followed Mary about. Plenty.

And what about Bear? All he wanted was bedtime. A peaceful one. But then Mouse arrived.

All this and more at eleven o’clock, Saturday 28th February at the English Bookshop in Uppsala.

Everybody loves something.

Some love fluffy cats.
Some love to beat a drum.
Some love throwing their lunch on the floor.
But we mostly love stories.

Come and celebrate Valentine’s Day with some lovely stories!
