The Little Green Dragon is an independent book & art materials shop in Alton. 

The shop stocks a good range of art materials & offers discount to members of art groups & art students. We stock adult recommended reads as well as 'quirky' books and books for all the family. We have a very good children's books section & are happy to advise on just the right book. Books are chosen by us personally and reflect what our customers enjoy and recommend.
