We are an independent publishing company specialising in rescuing neglected children’s fiction and making it available to a new generation of readers. Our books range from 1940s adventure stories to iconic 1960s fantasy novels, and from pony books by Carnegie medal winning authors to rare boarding school stories from the 1990s.
In November 2007, we expanded Fidra Books and setup Edinburgh's only specialist children's bookshop. As well as providing us with larger office space, we are able to combine a wall of our titles with what we consider to be the best in contemporary children's fiction and a stimulating range of non-fiction titles.
Here on our website you can read about our authors including biographies and extracts from their books. There's also an on-line shop where you can buy copies if you're not able to make it into the bookshop. There's information about our bookshop and details of events we have planned such as author visits for reading and signings. Do visit our blog where you can read our dispatches from the front-line as independent publishers and booksellers.
