Over dit e-boek

A treasury of inspiration for every May baby...

Find out why you might give your May baby a name to do with messengers, what is meant by a gift of a posy of blue violets, daisies and apple blossom, and who your baby shares their birthday with - could it be Fred Astaire, Florence Nightingale or Queen Victoria?

Much-loved author Noel Streatfeild originally launched this series of month-by-month baby books in 1959. Recently rediscovered in her publisher's archives, each little book arrives complete with gorgeous illustrations, and includes:

- suggested names and games for babies born in each month
- characteristics of your baby according to their zodiac sign
- famous babies who share your baby's birthday
- quotations and rhymes to fit every aspect of babyhood
... and much more.


With a warm, lively and charming introduction by Noel Streatfeild to every volume, each adorable book in this series is a pleasure to read, and an object to treasure.

Over de auteur

Prolific and much-loved author of Ballet Shoes, among many other books, Noel Streatfeild was born in 1895, a daughter of the Bishop of Lewes and a great-granddaughter of the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. After a rebellious childhood, she worked in a wartime munitions factory before going to RADA and becoming an actress for ten years. Her first six novels were for adults, but she was persuaded to re-work The Whicharts (1931) as a novel for children, and wrote many more after that. Streatfeild, who never married, led a busy London literary life and, by the time she died in 1986, had written over eighty books as well as three volumes of autobiography.
