So many marvellous reasons! Fairy tales have been around for thousands of years, and at their heart are characters, stories and adventures that capture the imaginations of generations after generations. The stories will naturally change and evolve as times do – you’ll see we’ve updated You and The Beanstalk to have a modern twist so the hero helps the giant at the end – but the stories ultimately endure as tales children love to read again and again. Other works of classic children’s literature, such as Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, tell exhilarating tales that capture little minds and often feature strong central characters that children are drawn to. The mind-boggling bonus with our adaptations is that the child can be the hero of the story and experience the wonder of going down the rabbit hole or visiting Willy Wonka’s factory for the first time themselves!

Our custom books cover a broad range so you can be sure to find the perfect book for any picture book-loving kid. Stories like My Adventures in Wonderland (age 0–8) and Your Treasury of Nursery Rhymes (age 0–3) make a glorious gift for a newborn that they can grow into and read for years. If you’re looking for a tale to empower a little reader and spark their imagination, Princess You The Great (age 2–5) sends them on a magical quest to discover the power of being themselves.

Absolutely any occasion! These classic stories make great birthday presents (or un-birthdays in the case of Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary tale!) and are also a thoughtful way to welcome a little one to the world with a keepsake child and parents can treasure for years. These classic children’s stories are also a lovely gift to give just because – to make every child feel like they’ve won a Golden Ticket!

There are some classic books for kids that will always be popular and always be adored. We think the most important thing is a story that little ones will want to come back to – a tale that creates magical memories to treasure and inspires a love of reading that will last a lifetime. In our personalised classic children’s picture books you’ll find everything you loved about the original stories – the characters, the singalong rhymes, the enchanting worlds – plus something new, your little one!
