Why We Created Little Heroes

We're a small family business, founded by a Mother & Father who are lifelong readers. As parents to a boy and a girl, we wanted to create something magical to share our love of reading with them. Our favourite stories and characters have a moral core, like Lord of the Rings. So now we write the stories we wished existed that bring that magic into your home via the post. We hope to not only create joy, but form character, too.

— Matthew & Monica

We read the first letter tonight, about 'Horatio Nelson'. WOW the things we learned. The girls were hooked and the factsheet absolutely topped it for them. Such a great touch.

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.
