Inhabit Books to open on Mt. Pleasant near Mabel’s Fables

Inhabit Books, a Canadian company that publishes and sells children’s books on Inuit life will open a store at 612 Mt. Pleasant Rd. Window signs indicate that the firm has leased the quaint double-store location which was occupied by the Little Doll House Company for so many years. An earlier post contained incorrect information that Inhabit intended to open other stores. It does not.

Mable’s Fables hoping to re-open soon

The Inhabit store will be a block away from Mabel’s Fables Children’s Bookstore at Mt. Pleasant Rd. and Hillsdale Ave. and across the street from Mastermind, yet another frequent stop for parents and friends shopping for children. Mabel’s Fables remains closed because of safety considerations related to the pandemic. It hopes to re-open soon. Mabel’s continues to take calls and fill orders for curbside pickup. A source said that the firm’s efforts to negotiate a new lease was in abeyance for the time being.
