Who we are
At Teasel & Skylark, we’re delighted to share a handpicked collection of books that celebrate the wild and wonderful natural world — from the heart of Dorset to far beyond.
Whether you’re drawn to rugged coastlines, ancient woodlands, or tales of adventure and discovery, you’ll find something here to spark your curiosity and lift your spirits. These are more than just books — they’re invitations to connect with nature, boost your well-being, and inspire your own amazing journeys.
Looking for a bit of inspiration, a peaceful escape, or a fresh perspective? Take your time to browse our shelves. And if you can’t find exactly what you’re after, just ask — we’re always happy to help.
Though we’re a small shop, we have access to thousands of titles and can usually order your favourites within a day or two — often by the next day.
Come on in — let’s find your next great read together.
Why Teasel and Skylark?
The teasel — bold and sculptural — stands tall along hedgerows and field edges, its textured form a testament to nature’s strength, endurance, and intricacy. The skylark, with its soaring flight and shimmering song, captures the spirit of freedom, inspiration, and joyful discovery.
Together, they symbolise the heart of our bookshop: rooted in the local, reaching for the extraordinary. We invite you to explore stories that connect mind and place, and celebrate the profound thrill of adventure.
