Once Upon a Time
There was a bookshop in the beautiful Market Town of Pickering, North Yorkshire…
Nestled in the heart of the Market Place, the old building with an upstairs space framed by original oak beams is the perfect place to discover your next read in a calm and welcoming environment.
Community is important to us, and we host regular events in the warm and atmospheric upstairs space. Having a positive impact both locally and globally —in our small way — is at the heart of what we do!

Ellie Levenson
Pickering Book Tree 43a Market Place, PickeringJoin us for a gripping and heart wrenching locked room drama from Ellie Levenson, who is certainly a debut novelist to watch! Sarah Jessica Parker “adored Room 706” and said of the novel that it is “as tender as it is surprising… a gripping interrogation of womanhood” (which is) “poignant, immersive, and utterly human”. Room 706 is a thrilling, thought provoking and deeply compelling story which will make a fantastic book club choice, so we’re very excited to chat with Ellie about it at this event!
