Once upon a time in the beautiful countryside of Somerset there lived a little girl who loved fairy tales. She was also very good at drawing, so she began to put her wonderful stories down on paper.

When she grew up, the girl opened Juniper Bespoke Books, a charming online bookstore where readers could browse through her library and order custom, hand-drawn narratives.

From a princess’s adventure at sea (using familiar character names and places) to more grown-up stories (the tale of your engagement with fanciful details), no request is too extraordinary. Ask to have yours wrapped in handmade paper with ribbons and a matching gift tag. It’s a neat way to say “Happy birthday” or “I love you”.

Whoever receives it will be enchanted.

The end.

Available online at juniperbespokebooks.com, £30-£300.
