About Hollyhock Books
Stories you can hear. Moments you can feel.
Hollyhock Books is a small, independent audio publishing house devoted to storytelling that slows the world down. We specialise in audio-first tales for children and the quietly curious—stories that shimmer with whimsy, humour, and heart.
We believe stories are meant to be heard. That the human voice still carries a kind of magic no screen ever could. And that a good story, well-told, has the power to create calm, spark imagination, and bring people together—whether around the dinner table, in a classroom, or tucked under the covers.
Each story we produce is written by hand, performed with care, and woven with music to create a rich, immersive listening experience. We don’t do algorithms. We don’t chase clicks. We craft audio stories the way others might make bread or quilts—with time, love, and the hope they’ll be passed down.
We’re not on social media.
We grow by word of mouth—just like stories always have.
If you’re looking for fast-paced, high-gloss entertainment, we may not be for you.
But if you believe in bedtime stories, rainy days, and the quiet joy of listening…
You’ve found your people.
Hollyhock Books.
Audio stories for those who still believe in wonder.
