The August Baby

English

By (author): Noel Streatfeild

A treasury of inspiration for every August baby...

Find out why you might give your August baby a name to do with peace, what is meant by a gift of a nosegay of ferns, balsam, snapdragons, sage and bitter-sweet nightshade, and who your baby shares their birthday with - could it be Alfred Hitchcock, Mary Shelley or Napoleon?

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.
