The Gift of Reading with Aimée Francis

Monday 7 December | Online

Some of the most treasured Christmas gifts are the simplest. A good book, chosen with someone special in mind, with a few handwritten words tucked between its pages.

As part of our 12 Days of Christmas celebrations, we're delighted to welcome back Aimée Francis of The Heritage Reader, who has put together a thoughtful collection of book recommendations for Christmas gifting.

From much-loved classics to stories waiting to be discovered, Aimée will share her suggestions for books to give to the people in your life, alongside a little inspiration for writing a personal letter to accompany your choice.

Perhaps it's a book that reminds you of someone, a story you once shared or a particular passage that says something you've always wanted to express.

A handwritten letter tucked inside the cover makes a gift all the more personal, something to discover, keep and return to long after Christmas has passed.

How to Take Part

On Monday 7 December, we'll publish Aimée's Christmas reading recommendations and letter-writing inspiration in a special journal post on the An Acre of Land website.

Free to enjoy and share, wherever you are.
