The book features illustrations by Rory Jeffers.

A celebration of the magic of bookshops, stories and books, this debut by a duo of longtime book lovers won us over. We hope that it will win you over as well. Our loveable hero lives in a bookshop. He is happy there, or at least he thinks he is. His pages are full of excitement, romance, daring deeds and adventure.

Taking matters into his own hands, he sets out on an epic journey of his own. Sneaking out of the bookshop he encounters many prospective friends, but none are quite right. Maybe the love he was seeking has been with him in the bookshop all along? With beautiful illustrations throughout, The Book Who Wanted To Be Loved is sure to make your heart soar.
