Miss Mary's Book of Dreams

Book excerpt: Books, dreams and vintage fashion, perfect for fans of Lucy Diamond, Milly Johnson and Anna Bell. From the bestselling author of The Dress. Ella runs Happily Ever After, a bookshop nestled in the cobbled streets of York. She's a wife, a mother and a successful novelist. But something is missing . . . One day a strange girl comes into Ella's shop. Bryony is shy and unsure, and Ella feels a strange connection to her. With the help of one very special book - and a little touch of magic - can these women help each other find the fairy tale endings they've been searching for? 'With her marriage flagging and finding parenting a struggle, Ella turns to her mother - who flies to her rescue, bringing the special supernatural gifts that run in the family . . . a charming and lyrical story' Sunday Mirror 'A delightful, uplifting novel that, while unashamedly romantic and feel-good, nevertheless ponders some deeper questions.' Yorkshire Post on The Dress.
