Literary Landmarks – 24-Door Calendar for Book Lovers and Travellers

A hand-illustrated 24-door calendar of 24 famous literary places in Britain and America: find the hidden doors and guess the writer’s house or landmark.

Step into a planning room for the ultimate literary road trip. A giant map of Britain and America is covered in tiny pinned cottages, and a traveller is plotting the route with a compass.

Hidden around the scene are 24 little doors: a tiny door is hidden on a postcard, the globe, a suitcase label, a signpost or the map. Behind each one is a real literary landmark, from Haworth Parsonage to Walden Pond and 221B Baker Street. Every day for 24 days, find the door, open it and guess.

How it works

  1. Find the door. Search the picture for today’s number.
  2. Open it. A hand-drawn picture is waiting inside.
  3. Guess. Guess which writer’s house or place it is.
  4. Check the answers on day 24. All 24 places, with the author and location, listed on an illustrated answer sheet in its own envelope.

Why readers adore it

  • A daily literary trip: Brontë moors, Austen’s cottage, Shakespeare’s Globe, Mark Twain’s Hartford home and more.
  • Real places you can visit: a to-do list for your next trip.
  • Hand-illustrated artwork: a cosy map-room with a hidden door on every postcard.
  • A gift for travellers: for the reader who plans holidays around books.
  • Screen-free and sugar-free: a daily ritual for wanderers.

Perfect for: Book lovers who travel, Anglophiles, Americans planning a trip to Britain (and the other way round), teachers and anyone who has stood outside a writer’s front door.

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 are illustrations of real places, not photographs. 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.
