'In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars'.

When my mother heard that I had been accepted into University this year, she decided to buy me a small present. She knows that 'The Great Gatsby', by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is my one of my favourite novels, so she gave me one of the best gifts I have ever received.
'The Great Gatsby' postcard set is a small collection of cards with a printed quote on each piece of paper. The quotes are some of my favourite from the literary masterpiece; 'In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars', 'that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool' and of course 'So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past'. 


The gift is a beautiful and simplistic present for literary lovers, which can be arranged in various ways, I wish to frame the quotes upon my wall side by side, so I can look at them everyday and appreciate the beauty of language within 'The Great Gatsby'.
The postcards are finished off with a red piece of string tied in a bow, along with a hand printed luggage tag, which gives the whole gift a vintage feel.
I absolutely adore the present and the website is amazing, not only is it great value for money but it has such unique gifts for book lovers.
Here are a few of my favourites:
