We have a colourfully cosy space at number 30 High Street, Forres, filled with beautiful books. There’s bucketloads of new fiction, classics, poetry, SF, fantasy, murder, crime, short stories, weird, and children’s books; there’s a big fat nature section, a well-balanced nurture section, space for biography, history, and arts. If you’ve already got too many books (impossible), we stock a delightful range of greetings cards, stationary and board games.
The best books are the unexpected, un-looked for, the chance discoveries. Under the Leaves might have exactly the book you weren’t looking for.
If you can’t make it to the shop, because, you know, it’s raining or whatever, have a look on our page at Bookshop.org:
Author Event!
100,000 Birthdays is the grandest, most ambitiously universe-encompassing book that you’re likely to encounter in a lifetime of birthdays. It’s an eclectic and unique memoir/history/philosophy/scientific/anthropological…. exploration and celebration of what makes us us.
We’ve read this wondrous text and remain happily uncertain how to categorize it (this is a very good thing).
Come to the shop on Saturday November 1st, 10:30, where the author of this dazzlingly eccentric memoir(ish), Cynthia Rogerson, will be chatting with the always dazzling Sean Lusk (author of The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley, A Woman of Opinion) and possibly explaining everything).

Get them a gift voucher, we’ll post it out to you, and all the lucky recipient has to do is meander down to the shop to pick out a book or two.
A gift of words.
