Come with us through the wardrobe...​​

...into a magical world of children's books for the young, and the young at heart.

Welcome to Through The Wardrobe Children's Books

In the heart of Mirfield, West Yorkshire,
in a tiny but perfectly formed old building, 
hides the most magical of shops...

A shop that might be easy to miss;
of mystery and wonder, knowledge and inspiration;
a shop of adventure, other worlds and times gone by;
a shop...of books.

Come and loose yourself in books that have been chosen just for you.  
Explore new worlds, discover new facts, feel empowered, feel seen...
feel valued.


My name is Leanne, and I am the owner of Through the Wardrobe Children's Bookshop.
Hey...it's really good to meet you!
This little treasure trove of bookish loveliness is my corner of heaven,
but as a hardworking mum and all round northern lass,
I know that the most important part of this shop...is you!

I believe in a shop that welcomes and reflects everyone,
that listens and works with it's community and is hopeful for change
and hopeful for the future.

I believe that everyone deserves to discover the joy of reading,
because books can take you anywhere.
Where will they take you?
