Simply Books favourite, ALEX T SMITH, will be creating our Christmas window and signing copies of his brand new book THE GRUMPUS. Alex is the bestselling author and illustrator of Claude (the dog), Mr Penguin and Winston (the mouse who delivered Christmas).

Do call in to meet Alex T Smith (he is just the loveliest person) and have a book beautifully inscribed and dedicated by Alex and snap a photo. And of course, you’ll be able to see our Christmas window!

The Grumpus is a gorgeous grumpy character but he is not a fan of Christmas…… in fact he has hatched a dastardly, dreadful Christmas plan to go to the North Pole and stop Christmas once and for all! (OH NO!)

‘A heart-warming story about friendship, kindness and the true meaning of Christmas.’

Sue loves this book! Told in chapters, with a festively foiled cover and glorious artwork it’s a perfect gift or treat for the whole family and destined to become a Christmas classic. It’s full of warmth and Christmas love and perfect for sharing!
