'A BIRTHDAY BOOK' is a brand new version of a birthday gift that was immensely popular in days gone by. Here is some more information about this special type of book, from the introductory note to this volume: "The 'Birthday Book' was one type of gift that became popular during the latter half of the 19th Century - in the Victorian era from the 1860s onwards. However, by the time of World War Two their exchange and use had become quite obsolete. It was a volume that would be given to someone on their birthday and was intended to be used for the recording of significant events - births, marriages, deaths et al. - as also for noting down details of new acquaintances by its owner. Typically, there would be an inspiring quote of poetry or prose - oftentimes from scripture - for every day of the year. Passages could be short or long and were frequently of a moral nature, containing advice for life - practical wisdom. Such books were considered suitable gifts for adults and children, yet less so for pre-teenagers as their content was mainly literary, mature and serious in its tone.

Though archaic in tone, the text brims over with truth. It is the editor's belief that a tome such as this is still an apt and attractive birthday gift. -" Though its actual authors are kept secret throughout the volume, this 'Birthday Book' delivers 242 evocative poems and 124 inspiring thoughts to its fortunate recipient - 366 heart-felt and thoughtful passages, one for every single birthday of the year!
