Book-Cycle is a lovlie little shop hidden away from the main high st and looks a bit like the set…read moreof Black Books. It's a 'not-for-profit organisation' They collect unwanted books from donations etc, if you can find the certain book you want, you pay whatever you wish! Half the proceeds of what you spend is sent to developing countries as well as some relevant literature, and the other half goes to planting trees around Britain. How cool is that?! There are 100's of books in this tiny little gem of a bookshop and loads of different genres. It's worth taking a look, cos you'll probably be surprised what you find.

The guy running it was very enthusiastic and friendly and I wished him lots of luck when I visited. Unfortunately, the rather down market location, the availability of discounted books on the internet and in supermarkets, and the credit crunch - appear to have combined to take their toll on The Story Teller, which has sadly just closed.

Shockingly, someone told me that this magnificent and oh so friendly shop is actually part of a much larger and voracious chain of paper sellers and newsagents who trade under the same name. Surely not. I mean can you imagine a bland corporate identity and an obsession with removing as much money from your purse as possible being identified with this wonderful shop? God forbid.

She's good, and very passionate in a quiet way about her craft - a real traditional artisan who will probably carry on learning and experimenting until they pry the clay out of her hands.

She'll also welcome you with a tea and a talk about all the qualities of ceramics she so admires - and as you buy you can see her workshop and meet a true craftswoman.
