Welcome to Elk Books
Every story has a beginning…
Elk Books is a little bookshop close to the shore front in the beautiful County Down town of Warrenpoint. At Elk Books we celebrate Ireland’s rich literary heritage, wonderful authors, poets and artists and the beautiful area of the Mournes and Cooley peninsula. Our ambition is to encourage a community of readers, to explore, live and know the world through the stories we share. Elk Books selection aims to reflect the expansive world of books. As we are a general bookshop, we encourage readers to discover new and diverse voices too. And for younger readers, we’re working on the Little Elks Book Nook, an area in the shop dedicated to readers from early years to 11+. Elk Books will also build on a collection of books As Gaeilge, celebrating writing in the Irish Language
So, please connect with us, we’re looking forward to hearing from you!

The Lock-Keeper’s Wife by John McKenna
The Lock-Keeper’s Wife is a delicate, dense portrait of one woman’s restless, beautiful mind, her passionate commune with nature, and the neglects she endures and, wonderfully, rises above. The writing is perfect and extraordinary – the work of a prose maestro. Nuala O’Connor, author of NORA & Seaborne The Lock-Keepers Wife is one of the most evocative and beautifully written books I have read in a long time. Daring in its simplicity this is a small but perfect book, not a word or sentence is out of place. The minute I finished reading it, I immediately turned to begin reading it again, which only happens with rare books but such is the power of John MacKenna’s writing and visual imagery
