The July Baby

A treasury of inspiration for every July baby...

Find out why you might give your July baby a name to do with meadows, what is meant by a gift of a bunch of white lilies, marigolds and yellow jasmine, and who your baby shares their birthday with - could it be Julius Caesar, Emmeline Pankhurst or Rembrandt?

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.
