Personalised children's book for Archie👦

Why a book for Archie?

A book where Archie is the hero, with Archie's own name in the text and Archie in the pictures. Here is a suggestion for how it could turn out.

A personalised book is a gift that shows you have thought of Archie in particular. It suits birthdays, Christmas or a perfectly ordinary evening, and it is read again and again. Write a foreword to Archie, and the book becomes a message to keep as well.

This suggestion is about gnomes: One December morning, a tiny door appears by the kitchen skirting board, with a note on its doorstep. You can choose another theme from our 90, and tell us what Archie likes, and it will be woven into the plot.

It is quick. Fill in Archie's age and interests, upload a photo and choose a style. A few minutes after payment the eBook is ready, and you can change the texts and pictures before you order it as a hardback.

Children love hearing their own name. When Archie sees themselves solve the riddle and save the day, the book becomes a favourite, and brothers, sisters, parents or the pet can join the adventure.

How Archie's book could begin

You were sure the door hadn't been there yesterday. It was no bigger than a matchbox, painted red, with a tiny brass handle. On the doorstep lay a note written in very small handwriting: “Please. We need help. Knock three times.”
