Chapter two · Down to the Creature Stables
A Griffin in the Straw
Down to the stables before breakfast. In the last stall, under the straw, something is hiding: a young griffin, all beak and feathers, just as new here as she is.

Every letter ends with a choice like this one. Pick, and the page goes the way you said.
The real P.S. of letter one, from one of our own stories in this world.
Chapter two · Practise Wake until a lamp lights
Wake!
She whispers Wake to a cold lamp. Nothing. A puff of smoke. On the third try, a tiny flame, and all down the hall the lamps light up in the wrong order.

Literacy & education
The letters grow up with them.
Tell us their age and the letters are written at their reading stage. Here is what changes on the way from four to fourteen.
-
4–5
Read to them
Short sentences, playful repetition, a picture on every page. The P.S. is a question you ask them at bedtime.
-
6–7
Read together
They take a line, you take a line. The names they know are the ones they read first.
-
8–10
Read alone, mostly
Longer chapters, richer words, a plot that needs remembering between letters. The P.S. is theirs to answer.
-
11–14
Their own
Deeper plots, moral weight, a world that does not explain itself twice. Written for a reader, not a listener.
Ages are the stories' best-for ranges; the reading level follows the age you give us, not the story.
Six stories
Choose their story
Each story is a world our team has written and drawn, from a tiny hidden world where crumbs become cliffs to a school for magic. Your child steps in as the hero.

What parents ask first
About the letters, the ages, the price and how they are made.
-
01 What are personalised letters for kids?
Letters written to your child by name, posted to them, with a story inside. A Journee letter is a chapter of an adventure in one of six stories, with your child as the hero and their family and friends written in as characters. The next chapter arrives a week, a fortnight or a month later.
-
02 How is each letter personalised?
You tell us about your child when you set the story up: their name, their age, what they love, and who should be in it, from a grandparent to the dog. The letters are written at the reading level of their age, and the envelope carries their name. You can add people to the cast from your account between letters.
-
03 What age are the letters for?
Children aged 4 to 14. Younger children have their letters read to them, older ones read them alone. Every story suits every age in that range: the reading level follows the age you give us.
-
04 How much do personalised letters cost?
A pack of 10, 8 or 5 letters, paid once, from £60 for 5; or a subscription from £8 a letter, paid as each one goes. The code LETTER25 takes 25% off, so letters start at £6 each. Postage is free in the UK.
-
05 Who writes the letters? Is it AI?
The stories, their places and people, and the whole story arc are written and drawn by our team. We use AI for a single job: weaving your child, your family and their friends into that story. Most letters are read by a person before they are printed and posted.
