The book will feature the child’s name and original artwork. This is just one comment from the many positive customers who have purchased the book:

“I was so pleased with this personalised encyclopedia. It is beautifully done using all the letters in the child’s name, and the special little verses at the beginning and end of the book make it quite unique. Also being able to have a personalised message printed in the book is a lovely idea. The speed in which it arrived was excellent. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get something that little bit different, and very personal, for a christening gift.”
