About Red House

Founded in 1979, Red House is a mail order bookshop specialising in children’s books for all ages, from babies to young adults. We produce a catalogue each month, featuring an introduction from a leading author and update our bright and colourful website on a regular basis to ensure that we are able to offer you the very best books, hand-picked to ensure quality and value.
