David Fickling Books website
Hello and welcome to the DFB website!

David Fickling Books is a small story house based in Oxford. Three of us editors work here, David, Bella and Hannah. We choose the very best stories or narratives we can find for people to read. It�s a great job. We don�t choose very many, sometimes as few as just one book a month, sometimes a novel, sometimes a picture book, sometimes poetry...
