New Bookstore Opens in Woodstock

Bonfire Bookstore and Yarnery

As you can see from the reflection, the bookstore is across the street from the old courthouse. A small yarn shop is incorporated into the bookstore.

 

I had heard that there was a mural in the store, but at first I didn’t see it. Then I noticed this huge cabinet with the doors open.

Of course! This is the entrance to the children’s section. The wardrobe is a literary reference to a children’s classic.

And there’s Aslan!

Monday Murals / Mosaics

I did not read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe when I was a child. It existed, but I don’t think it became popular in the States until a little later. My daughters read it so I heard about it. 

Another clever touch is wallpaper made of actual pages from books. Overall, it’s a pleasant place to shop.
