At Daydreams Bookshop, we believe books are meant to be shared, loved, and rediscovered. We stock a wee bit of everything including fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and a variety of books for children and young adults – alongside pre-loved editions that carry a little piece of someone else’s story.

Pop in, browse our shelves, and chat with our team about what you’ve been reading. You’ll always leave with a new recommendation (or three!)

🕮 February’s Pick:
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

Hot on the heels of the Hollywood movie adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, this is the perfect Valentines’ Day read.  

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Emily Bronte’s dark, passionate, windswept novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon. This is the tale of two families both joined and riven by love and hate. Cathy is a beautiful and wilful young woman torn between her soft-hearted husband and Heathcliff, the passionate and resentful man who has loved her since childhood.

The power of their bond creates a maelstrom of cruelty and violence which will leave one of them dead and cast a shadow over the lives of their children.

This hardback is part of VINTAGE COLLECTOR’S CLASSICS, a series of luxurious books especially crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions. Sumptuous design meets the highest quality production.
