“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.” - Maya Angelou

This brilliant subscription gift sends an engaging and exciting mix of six classic paperbacks and six current hardbacks direct from our Mayfair shop to the young person in your life. 

Designed with teenage readers in mind, and thoughtfully chosen by our expert team, this age-specific selection of classic and contemporary writing will open their eyes to new worlds and their minds to new ideas. Arriving in parcels of two books every other month, the classic and contemporary books are carefully paired to work well together, looking to keep your recipient up to date with the most interesting new releases as well as exposing them to some of their first classics.

Receiving twelve books in total, the six deliveries will contain one classic paperback title and one contemporary hardback book each, beautifully gift-wrapped and with monthly bookmarks designed by the wonderful Cressida Bell.

The recipient will receive a welcome pack from us to introduce them to their subscription. Including an elegant gift card and letter telling them about the subscription, we can also include a hand-written personal message on one of our illustrated postcards. Do pop a message for your recipient in the notes at checkout to include this in the welcome pack.
