Why Virtue Matters

“Happiness is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue.”— Aristotle

As parents, we want our children to be good and happy.

Aristotle believed true happiness (eudaimonia) comes not from success or pleasure, but from living with virtue. We become happy by becoming good.

Letters for Little Heroes brings twelve of Aristotle's essential virtues to life through real stories of historical heroes, helping children grow into confident, resilient, and genuinely happy humans.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We aim to send the letters so they arrive at the beginning of each month. The arrival of the letters is dependent upon the postal service and your location.

We post from the United Kingdom and the price, therefore, depends on your location. We aim to only charge the price of the stamp and nothing more. The cost is automatically calculated at checkout and added to the monthly cost of your subscription. We do everything we can to keep p&p costs as low as possible.

Our letters are designed for heroes and heroines.

We will deliver to wherever the post office will reliably send to. Some locations may, naturally, take longer to arrive than others.

We do not accept returns. However, if you are unhappy with the letters, you are free to cancel your subscription at any time.

You can cancel your subscription in the account management area of the website. You will find it in the navigation bar in the top left corner.
