Make Believe.

Hi, I'm Jude, lover of cats, books and 80s music and someone who understands that buying books and reading books are two separate but complementary hobbies.   I'm mum to three wonderful human beings:  Arden, who named the bookshop, Ben, who with equally brilliant husband Guy, built the bookshop, and Ted, who made endless cups of tea in my moments of despair whilst studying for his A'levels,

 

Only Make Believe is my own little dream come true.   


With the help of the aforementioned team, I have conjured up a teeny tiny, fiction-led bookshop, in the beautiful setting of Merton Abbey Mills,   where you can browse, banter and buy all things bookish.
