I'm trying to put together a list of literary references to Oxfam shops. If you find one in a book you're reading, will you add it here for me? In return, I will be your best friend.

I know there's one in Boxy an Star (they call it the "Ox Farm shop"), and Mike Gayle's got one as well.

one month passes...

In Neil Gaiman's short story "Chivalry" the main character finds the Holy Grail in an Oxfam shop. The story is in his collection Smoke and Mirrors.
