What people are saying

“From an adult point of view, I was actually hooked from the beginning. For those children too young to read the letters by themselves, it is a pleasure to read to them and I am excited to learn more about Emmeline’s world. For slightly older children, they will be lovely to be opened and read by themselves, and hopefully shared with the household.”

“Well the fairies have arrived and are so charming and interesting... You have created something beautiful. The drawings are just right for this type of illustration. I especially liked the dragon but the hairy and fairy are great and so is the beetle . Just right for children.“
— BP (Grandfather to several believers)

“I love the inspiration behind Emmeline - giving kids a way to articulate and process emotions and feelings is so important in todays age, and done in such a wholesome and creative way!”
— EM (Marketing Director + the reason why she wanted to help build Emmeline and Friends!)

''The initial receipt of the letter feels quite magical because of the quality of the materials, and the care that has evidently gone into their assembly. The impression is that these letters have been sent by a small and magical and thoughtful being. The care and attention to detail extends to the handwriting and illustrations throughout the whimsical prose. The production and styling are superb.''

''The unfolding story and gradual introduction to characters are both thoughtful and witty. And it’s nice that there is a gentle positive message at the end of each letter. The gifts can be put into a special box to be treasured and the letters should be kept safe to re-read over and over. They are like a bedtime story-book with fun illustrations.''

''The story of Emmeline is a lovely one. She has bought into Wingwash hook, line and sinker. She loved the hairies, and the detail is great. She’s excited for her next letter''

''Emmeline's letters are beautifully presented and when you receive one you immediately feel special. Her way of writing is endearing, and she tells wonderful short stories with rich characters and wonderful sentiments. I can't wait to read more.''

''R was so happy to come home from school last Tuesday to get a letter from Emmeline… she read it with her Granny, who thought it was a brilliant idea and a lovely story! We read it again over the weekend when she was feeling poorly, and R said she loved that Emmeline had started writing to her. It made her feel special. The content is really lovely… just perfect for little girls!''

''They are sweet things that can be kept and treasured… kids comics these days are not usually under £5 and come with tons of plastic stuff (which is usually the reason they are chosen!) but the magazine isn’t read, and the naff toys clutter the house - driving most of us parents mad! Emmeline’s letters bring something totally different and more meaningful than a monthly magazine. They give her more than a certain fortnightly kids mag does (£6-7 per issue!).''
