Looking Christmas presents? Come to our stall on Portobello Market on Saturdays. We’re there on the corner of Portobello Road and Tavistock Road from 9am to 5pm.

For local flavour: try long-term stallholder Laura Del-Rivo’s Where is My Mask of an Honest Man? Stories based around the market and true local characters.

For cutting edge poetry: check outDiaspo/Renga by Marilyn Hacker and Deema Shehabi. A poetic conversation sparked by the conflict in Gaza and already a bestseller in the USA.

For the discerning reader who has read everything: make sure you get one of the first copies of The Stray American by Wendy Brandmark. It’s a novel about an American on London in search of a soulmate and his identity who finds some ‘Un-Americans’ along the way.

Enjoy!
