As one of my favourite quotes says “A room without books is like a body without a soul.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Jane Austen Gifts
Jane Austen is the quintessential romantic novelist. Her work, through many incarnations on both television and cinema, has reached an audience far beyond her books. But her books are where the magic lies. The words, the world she evokes and the turns of phrase. Her novels are set in a world romantic courtship and genteel ladies with strong backbones that meet their soulmates across ballrooms and dance floors. Here at six0six design I turned my love of her books into a range of stationery. Pencils, cards and confetti. Currently in the range are two of her most popular novels.
Pride and Prejudice Gifts
Sometimes referred to as a novel of manners. Set in England in the early 19th Century the novel follows the story of the five Bennet sisters through love marriage and the social world of country houses and house calls. The joy of Pride and Prejudice is the words, the turns of phrase and back and forth between its lead protagonists. And so was born the quote pencils.

Sense and Sensibility
Published anonymously in 1811 the novel tells the story centres on the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. The story begins as they move to their new home with their widowed mother.
