Bookshop Description

Bookbugs and Dragon Tales was opened 5 years ago by former teacher Leanne Fridd and book industry IT wiz Dan Fridd. Together they thought they would make the dream team bookshop owners. They wanted to create a space in Norwich that combined their love of all things literature and theatre for children to feel welcome and the priority whilst also serving older readers with the latest and greatest books. They have a large event space for activities ranging from newborn baby massage to craft classes to grown up book clubs. With over 4000 books in stock at any one time and 40% being books for grownups in the atmospheric basement they are much more than their "little bookshop" facade portrays!
