When you read a book to a child, you can create a gift for life!
Jim Pilkington, the Chair Partner of Salago
Comments that looking back some 60 years. He can still remember with great fondness, Sunday evenings in the living room of the Headmaster’s sister, listening to ‘The Children of The Forest’.
The trick of course, is to read the story to the children, as though it is a real experience of your own and not in flat monotone voice. Live the book and tell the children! Chuck in the occasional phrase of your own if you like: ‘Now what is going to happen next?
In the child, it invokes their sense of wonder, and it is that which creates this gift of a lifetime.
Children books we offer especially selected as well suited, for giving this special experience because of the human contact. Will no doubt outweigh anything they see on TV.

Landy Books
Feature stories about a Land Rover, Fender and Landy. In these publications there is story of itself. After some years of very successful marketing, Land Rover claimed the books broke their copyright and had to be withdrawn. What a blunder by Land Rover!
