FIDRA BOOKS

Fidra Books is based in Edinburgh and run by Vanessa and Malcolm Robertson. We published our first book in 2005. From 2007 until October 2012 we owned The Edinburgh Bookshop - it was a success and we were short-listed for several trade awards, ending our time there by winning the Scottish Independent Retail Award for best bookshop in Scotland... Fidra Books is a small, independent publisher specialising in rescuing neglected children's books; those much-loved titles that have fallen through the net and deserve to be enjoyed again by the people who grew up with them and to find a new readership among today's children. Our books range from iconic 1960s fantasy novels to 1930s adventures, from hard-to-find 1990s boarding school stories to some of the best-loved pony books of the 1950s... publishers of classic children's literature of the 20th century including school, pony, fantasy and adventure stories
