Dictionaries, Thesauruses & Atlases

We believe a good range of Dictionaries and thesauruses should be stocked in all schools and every child should be able to access one when they require to as they help in the learning, spelling and understanding of the words children will come across every day. That is why at Laburnum we offer a comprehensive range all at half price to make this more achievable.

The Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus range is widely used in most schools throughout the UK. They are constantly updating their dictionaries to keep up with language trends and new vocabulary.

Our wide section of Oxford dictionaries includes illustrated copies for younger audiences as well as dictionaries which focus on specific subjects such as Math or Science. The importance and usefulness of a dictionary or thesaurus cannot be underestimated which is why we provide such a large selection to cover a range of subjects.

Whether you are looking to invest in a dictionary, thesaurus or atlas for your school or your own child, you can be assured that the service you receive from Laburnum House will be second to none.
