Something I always love to give to people as gifts are books. I just know they will bring them hours of pleasure;0 something to ponder, new information or experiences, a good laugh or some words of wisdom.
A book is a gift of many diverse riches and always wonderful value.
I have been introduced by Carlton Publishing Group to some gorgeous books they have released this Christmas and I am so excited to share them with you

This truly is the most stunning of books and any plant or garden lover or even art lover is going to be delighted with it. It tell the story behind 40 of the world’s most fascinating plants.

This box set costs £35 and is, in my opinion, exceptional value for money.
Treasures of British History
Oh this is an absolute treasure of a book and so unusual.
The book examines British history through 50 key documents These are beautifully reproduced on the pages and the authors explain their criteria for the selection of each one and why they were so relevant in shaping our past.
Ten documents are f reproduced in facsimile form, bringing a tangible sense of history to the book and they are contained in little envelopes throughout. They are treasures indeed! These range from a sketch of a mini dress by Mary Quant to Wellington’s Waterloo dispatch.
I just love that these treasures can be removed and properly examined.
