Pick Two Authors
Two authors, one year, 24 letters. Choose any two of Edgar Allan Poe, Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens. Your first author writes to you twice a month for six months; when they sign off, the second picks up the quill for the next six.
Every envelope holds the author's letter on one corner of modern life, notes from our curator Monica Ortiz, a period-style newsletter of true stories from the author's life, and artwork or a keepsake. Plus a bonus letter on your birthday.
Our best gift, and the best value: $130 prepaid for the full year, $50 less than two series paid monthly. Pick your two authors and a start date below.
