As we follow the Lees through encounters with jealousy, ambition, family grudges, work and wealth, gingerbread seems to be the one thing that holds a constant value. For one thing, their home is a gold-painted seventh-floor flat with some surprisingly verbal vegetation. Perdita Lee and her mother Harriet may appear your average schoolgirl and working mother but they are anything but. Influenced by the mysterious place gingerbread holds in classic children's stories - equal parts wholesome and uncanny - beloved novelist Helen Oyeyemi invites readers into a delightful tale of a surprising family legacy, in which the inheritance is a recipe. We'll add a beautiful bookmark and some scented dried wild flowers and voila! The perfect, thoughtful gift delivered straight to their door. Choose a gorgeous, sustainable pre-loved book and some delightful treats, select a literary quote postcard and add a handwritten gift message (or leave it blank).
