The Travelling Reader

Delivering a British book experience to your door

The Travelling Reader subscription boxes are curated monthly British-themed book boxes.

We curate a totally unique subscription box based around the area of our chosen book's setting. So, for example, a fiction book based in Cumbria will include the book, a beverage from Cumbria and confectionery from the locality too, as well as other treats! You can check out our current month's theme here.

We also have a London-themed box which include exclusively London treats!

Are you ready to start your reading journey around Britain? Then check out our Subscribe page now or find previous boxes in the shop. Happy reading!

Please be aware that our subscription service is now suspended. Please see here.
