Dymocks Penrith

Best book store around

Dymocks Penrith, in the Westfield complex, seems to have a better range of books than most suburban Dymocks stores. It seems to have a particularly good selection for gift purchases. A book was duly secured to settle the requirement for a party this weekend.

On visiting this store I learnt for the first time that a book about a boy wizard is due out on 31 July. You’d think that you could write a whole series of books about a boy wizard and establish a movie franchise and spin-off merchandise. I must give it some thought. For instance, are non-camera shy trained owls easy to locate? How much does an owl trainer charge? Where in this electric age does one find a steam train engine?

Pre order yours with us by contacting the store! So pretty!

Staff Review - Spinning Silver - Naomi Novik ***** Based on a lose retelling of "Rumpelstiltkin" although it pulls quite alot from other fairy tales also. I found this book quite charming and magical. Strong female characters, who are living in a mans world where survival is the most important thing.It was a beautifully crafted fantasy and very engrossing! - Loved by Trish *****
... Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders... but her father isn't a very good one. Free to lend and reluctant to collect, he has loaned out most of his wife's dowry and left the family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem steps in. Hardening her heart against her fellow villagers' pleas, she sets out to collect what is owed--and finds herself more than up to the task. When her grandfather loans her a pouch of silver pennies, she brings it back full of gold.
But having the reputation of being able to change silver to gold can be more trouble than it's worth--especially when her fate becomes tangled with the cold creatures that haunt the wood, and whose king has learned of her reputation and wants to exploit it for reasons Miryem cannot understand.
