What Rhymes with 'perfume'? 
Poetry & Scent - Two Celebrations, One Day!
Tuesday 21 March is both World Poetry Day and National Fragrance Day - adding spice to your world in very different ways!

To mark the occasion, we're giving away both poetry and scent to lucky customers throughout the day.

When you buy books on Tuesday, you can enjoy a lucky dip for rolled-up poems to take home and savour.

And we'll be offering special samples of perfume thanks to generous support from The Perfume Society.

Who could resist? See you Tuesday!
Spring Fiction
The Chilbury Ladies' Choir
We've enjoyed this tale of village life during the Second World War, with dollops of gossip and secrets adding spice to a mix of kindness and selflessness. So we're hosting an informal discussion group to chat about it, and music's power, and village life . . .

Jennifer Ryan tells her story through her characters' letters and journals. So when you buy your copy of this £12.99 hardback at Much Ado, we'll include a hand-decorated mini-journal, to hold your own thoughts, notes and inspirations!
