The April Baby by Noel Streatfeild
A treasury of inspiration for every April baby... Find out which names for your April baby have connotations of renewal, learn what is meant by a gift of a bunch of moss, bearded crepis, primroses, daisies and wood sorrel, and discover who your baby shares their birthday with - could it be Charlotte Brontë, Leonardo da Vinci or Alexander the Great? Much-loved author Noel Streatfeild originally launched this series of month-by-month baby books in 1959. Recently rediscovered in her publisher's archives, each little book arrives complete with gorgeous illustrations, and includes: - suggested names and games for babies born in each month - characteristics of your baby according to their zodiac sign - famous babies who share your baby's birthday - quotations and rhymes to fit every aspect of babyhood ... and much more. With a warm, lively and charming introduction by Noel Streatfeild to every volume, each adorable book in this series is a pleasure to read, and an object to treasure.
Prolific and much-loved author of Ballet Shoes, among many other books, Noel Streatfeild was born in 1895, a daughter of the Bishop of Lewes and a great-granddaughter of the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. After a rebellious childhood, she worked in a wartime munitions factory before going to RADA and becoming an actress for ten years. Her first six novels were for adults, but she was persuaded to re-work The Whicharts (1931) as a novel for children, and wrote many more after that. Streatfeild, who never married, led a busy London literary life and, by the time she died in 1986, had written over eighty books as well as three volumes of autobiography.
