Christmas gifts for book lovers
Some books belong to Christmas. These prints take a single moment from each one and give it a wall of its own: Scrooge's room full of the Ghost of Christmas Present, a lamp-post burning in the snow, a tea party where it is always six o'clock.
Framed prints arrive ready to hang, which makes them an easy present to wrap.
The Ghost of Christmas Present
Inspired by A Christmas CarolHolly and ivy over every wall, a roaring fire, and Christmas moved into Scrooge's room. The obvious one for a Dickens fan.

See the printThe Mad Tea-Party
Inspired by Alice's Adventures in WonderlandThe endless tea party, in the style of an 1860s colour wood engraving, the way Alice's first readers would have known her.
See the printGrief after Moria

See the printThe Witch-king at the Gate
Inspired by The Return of the KingThe broken gate of Minas Tirith before dawn, as a Victorian Gothic wood engraving.
See the printThe Hound on the Moor

Choosing a print for a reader
Pick the book they talk about, not the one you think they should read. A Christmas Carol is for the reader who loves December. The Lamp-post is for anyone who grew up with Narnia. The Mad Tea-Party suits tea drinkers and a child's room. Tolkien fans will want Middle-earth, and a reader with darker shelves will be happier with Dracula or the Hound. Every print carries a typeset caption naming the book and the moment, so even a guest who has never read it will know what it is.
Questions
- Do the prints come framed?
- You can choose unframed, or a slim pine frame in black, white or natural oak with plexiglass and no mount. Framed prints arrive ready to hang.
- What sizes are there?
- A4, A3 or 12 x 16 in, depending on the print.
- When should I order for Christmas?
- Prints are made to order and sent within 1 to 3 days. Order by early December to be safe.
- Is the art made with AI?
- Yes. I create each scene with AI image tools, then art-direct and refine it in the style of a historic print. The print page tells you which style and which picture inspired it.
Every print is made to order and sent within 1 to 3 days. Leave a little extra time in December, when the post is busy.
