A small bookshop with a wild heart
Wild About Story is an independent bookshop, established by Tracey Collins, housing a range of beautiful and carefully curated books.
Starting from just a renovated library trolley, Wild About Story is now an enchanting book nook at Cedar farm in West Lancashire, that recognises the importance of storytelling in all forms as a way of passing down tradition, folklore and wonder to each new generation.
​
We believe that stories sung or read (and especially stories told aloud from memory) have a special magical power. We would love to welcome you into the shop, to browse and rediscover the wonder of stories.​​

They can make the heart bigger.”
