New Zealand's Dorothy Butler was an internationally recognised advocate for children's literacy and ran her first bookshop from her home while she and her husband raised their eight children. A recipient of the Margaret Mahy Award, Dorothy died at the age of 90 in 2015 but her legacy continues with The Dorothy Butler Children's Bookshop, situated for the last 40 years on Jervois Road in Auckland's Ponsonby. A familiar fixture for many parents, children and schools, it has weathered the challenge of digital reading on screens, determined that as many children as possible should have the pleasure of opening a book and being drawn into its pages. Change is afoot however - at a time when bookshops - and retail in general - have been doing it tough, the current owners have decided to pass Dorothy's mantel on. The shop is up for sale. Helen Wadsworth is one of the co-owners and she joins Emile. Go here if you are keen to know more
