About the Book

Are you struggling to find a unique gift for the birthday of one you love?

This one-of-a-kind publication may be exactly be what you are looking for. 'A BIRTHDAY BOOK' provides its recipient with 366 poetry & prose passages - one for each Birthday of the year. Vintage in design from cover to cover, each day's entry is presented in identical fashion, with a thought-inspiring literary passage and a space for the reader to write down their own thoughts, the names of anyone whom they met on that day or any occasions that they believe deserve recording in their 'Birthday Book'.

'A BIRTHDAY BOOK' is a brand new version of a birthday gift that was immensely popular in days gone by. Here is some more information about this special type of book, from the introductory note to this volume:

"The 'Birthday Book' was one type of gift that became popular during the latter half of the 19th Century - in the Victorian era from the 1860s onwards. However, by the time of World War Two their exchange and use had become quite obsolete. It was a volume that would be given to someone on their birthday and was intended to be used for the recording of significant events - births, marriages, deaths et al. - as also for noting down details of new acquaintances by its owner. Typically, there would be an inspiring quote of poetry or prose - oftentimes from scripture - for every day of the year. Passages could be short or long and were frequently of a moral nature, containing advice for life - practical wisdom. Such books were considered suitable gifts for adults and children, yet less so for pre-teenagers as their content was mainly literary, mature and serious in its tone. The current volume is based upon a classic example of a birthday book, any and all remnants of the 19th Century's male chauvinism being carefully removed throughout to make the text fully acceptable to a contemporary reader. Though archaic in tone, the text brims over with truth. It is the editor's belief that a tome such as this is still an apt and attractive birthday gift. -"

Though its actual authors are kept secret throughout the volume, this 'Birthday Book' delivers 242 evocative poems and 124 inspiring thoughts to its fortunate recipient - 366 heart-felt and thoughtful passages, one for every single birthday of the year!

Those seeking an original birthday gift may be lucky in finding what they sought, with this extraordinary collection of poetry and prose messages for every day of the year by talented English and American writers from the 19th Century. No matter what day you were born, you will find an inspirational passage of prose or poetry for that special day.

The most varied and colourful selection of literary passages is provided by this modern re-presentation of an inimitable 'Birthday Offering' that is two centuries old. The words may come from a far-away place in time, yet their wisdom and beauty will affect you as much as if someone spoke them to you today! The text, presented in vintage fashion with 8 stunning engravings, is interspersed with special spaces in which to record your own words.

'A BIRTHDAY BOOK' contains practical wisdom, relationship advice, inspiring thoughts and evocative poetry.

Presented as a vintage "retro" gift, this Birthday Book is at the same time modern & cutting-edge in its sleek, uncluttered design. The volume can become a highly personalised item to its owner as the sections for each birthday of the year provide space for the reader to record their own thoughts, feelings, perhaps even details of someone who has been met that day - or the book can be inscribed by whoever wants to personalise it with their own friendly offerings.

At a time when "original presents" are so hard to come by, 'A BIRTHDAY BOOK' provides a much-needed alternative to chocolates, flowers, perfume, shavers, rings & handkerchiefs.
