Fidra Books is a publisher based in Edinburgh which specialises in reissuing forgotten children's books, especially those from the 1940s onwards. It was set up in 2005 by Malcolm and Vanessa Robertson, who also opened Edinburgh's only dedicated Children's Bookshop in November 2007. Fidra Books' first publication was Margot Pardoe's The Far Island (Pardoe also wrote the highly successful Bunkle series which is also being republished). Fidra Books also publishes other classic genres, such as adventure and school stories.
