Authors & Their Pets – 24-Door Calendar for Book and Animal Lovers

A hand-illustrated 24-door calendar of famous writers and their pets: find 24 hidden doors and guess which author owned each creature.

Step into a writers’ study and the pets have taken over: a raven on a bust, cats on the typewriter, a mastiff by the fire, a spaniel on the sofa and a tiny marmoset on the curtain rail.

Hidden around the scene are 24 little doors: a tiny door is hidden on a desk, a cat basket, a bookshelf, a framed silhouette or the typewriter. Behind each one is the real pet of a famous author, drawn in a scene tied to the writer. Every day for 24 days, find the door, open it and guess.

How it works

Find the door. Search the picture for today’s number.
Open it. A hand-drawn picture is waiting inside.
Guess. Guess which famous writer it belonged to.
Check the answers on day 24. All 24 authors and their pets, with a little detail, listed on an illustrated answer sheet in its own envelope.

Why readers adore it

Two loves in one: books and pets, in a calendar for anyone who has ever read with a cat on the book.
True stories: Dickens’s raven, Hemingway’s six-toed cats, Brontë’s mastiff, Orwell’s goat.
Hand-illustrated artwork: a cosy study with an animal around every corner.
A gift that feels personal: for the friend whose dog or cat is their writing partner.
Screen-free and sugar-free: a daily smile (treats for pets not included).

Perfect for: Book lovers who are also cat or dog people, writers and students of literature, teachers, and animal-loving families.

What’s included

1 illustrated 24-door calendar, A4 landscape (21 × 29.7 cm / 8.3 × 11.7 in), with 24 perforated doors
1 illustrated answer sheet
1 illustrated “The Answers” envelope to keep the solutions secret until door 24

Good to know

Pictures show the animals, not portraits of the authors. The calendar contains no food or treats.
The text is in English. Younger children may need a grown-up to help open the small paper doors.
