Gift Box

Personalised book with gift box

Buying a classic novel is all very worthy, but let’s be honest, the chances of you reading it are about zero. But what if you were the star of the book and your friends and relatives played supporting roles? Now you’re talking!

Thanks to Personalised Classics you could soon be reading Amanda’s Adventures in Wonderland, Rodney and Julie or Shamus Holmes. The process is elementary, dear reader: upon ordering you’ll receive an elegant gift box containing an order form that lets you change the names of up to six leading characters in your chosen book. You can even write a personal dedication and read the story behind the novel you're about to star in.

Excerpt
Before you know it you’ll receive a uniquely tweaked edition of a literary classic. Choose from Romeo and Juliet, Robin Hood, The Hound of the Baskervilles or The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Elegant gift box

Just think, it could be you following the yellow brick road while your mother-in-law screams ‘I’m melting’, your dad getting hot and heavy with those saucy Bennet sisters, or your mate Phil getting seduced by Count Dracula’s wanton vampires!

You’ll never tire of seeing familiar names seamlessly incorporated into a classic novel. ‘O Reginald, Reginald! Wherefore art thou Reginald?’ Who knows, you might even learn to appreciate the brilliant prose that made your book a classic in the first place.

Stunningly original gifts for narcissistic bookworms and anyone who fancies seeing their name in print, Personalised Classics will become cherished possessions, read and re-read for years to come. ‘What's in a name?’ asked Shakespeare. Quite a lot, we reckon.

visitor avatar Can you only change the protagonists name or can you change all of the characters names? i. E. Watson in the hound of the baskervilles, the merry men in Robin hood, The rest of the Montagues and Capulets...
Paul, London - 16th April 2011
Firebox says: You can personalise a cast of roughly 6-7 characters. See above for links to the cast of each book that you can alter.
visitor avatar I was wondering if The Wizard of Oz was still available? I can't seem to find it, only Robin Hood.
Rebecca, Northern Ireland - 9th April 2011
Firebox says: We only have Robin Hood left as a gift pack, but you can still get Wizard of Oz as a novel here - http://www.firebox.com/product/2693/Personalised-Classic-Novels
visitor avatar Does the price of £19. 99 include the gift box and the book or just the gift box?
Lee, Dorset - 11th December 2010
Firebox says: It includes the price of both, but initially you will just get sent the gift box, within which you get the details to send off for the book - but this does not have an extra cost.
visitor avatar Hi, love the product! Is there a guarantee that if I order it now it will be here in time for Christmas? Thanks.
Leanne Walker, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire - 15th November 2010
Firebox says: We can't guarantee it as our supplier produces the books, but it's takes around 28 days after you have registered, so if you order now, it should be with you in time for Christmas.
visitor avatar The price in the recent magazine for this is £15.99, but online its £19.99! can you correct this?
Rob, Bristol - 10th November 2010
Firebox says: You've just got the wrong product Rob. These are the gift packs but the Novels in the catalogue can be found via this link at £15.99: http://www.firebox.com/product/2693/Personalised-Classic-Novels?via=ser
visitor avatar Is the Alice in Wonderland (advertised in the picture) able to be personalised.
Mark, Belfast - 9th November 2010
Firebox says: We no longer do the gift pack for that novel but you can buy it via the online personalisation option here: http://www.firebox.com/product/2693/Personalised-Classic-Novels?via=ser
visitor avatar Hi, I noticed that on the list of PDF files, there are only 4 books (the hound of the Baskervilles, Robin Hood, Romeo and Juliet and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz). Does this mean that Frankenstein and Dracula are not available any more?
Vicky, Cheshire - 6th November 2010
Firebox says: Hi Vioky, Unfortunately we do not get these books from our supplier anymore. We are sorry, We hope you can find one you like!
visitor avatar Good idea, I've purchased the Robin Hood one. Will it change Robin or Hood ? What part will I need to change on The Sheriff of Nottingham?
Mike, Chesterfield - 24th September 2010
Firebox says: Lets take you as an example. Robin Hood becomes.. Mike Hood, Friar Tuck .. Friar Mike Tuck and The Sheriff of Nottingham.. Mike The Sheriff of Nottingham.
visitor avatar This is such a good idea! when will the pride and prejudice book be in stock again?
Dan, - 27th August 2010
Firebox says: Unfortunately we have no plans to stock it again. Sorry!
visitor avatar I bought 2 books for my son and daughter, George and Matilda. George is 4 and Matilda is 10 months. George LOVES to have his story read to him and for Matilda, well, we'll have to see!!!
