Let her defeat the wicked witch or be the wicked witch! A wonderful and highly original gift for a loved one that lets them star in their own classic novel!

For their very own version of the classic Wizard of Oz story, they simply choose themselves and others to play six leading characters, using the enclosed cast list. The names of the leading characters are substituted with their chosen names.

They can even add their name to the author’s as co-writer of the book and write their own personalised dedication to appear in the front of the book.

Once they've decided, they’ll be sent a first edition personalised novel to keep on their shelf forever!

FAQs for Recipient

How do I register my gift?
You can register your gift online or by post. We recommend that you register online as this speeds up the time it takes for you to receive your personalised classic novel. Full instructions on how to register can be found in your registration booklet.

How long do I have to register my gift?
You need to register your gift before the expiry date on your gift registration booklet. We recommend that you register your gift as soon as possible.

Do I have to replace all of the suggested character names?
No. If you do not want to replace all characters you do not have to. Any character that you do not replace will keep their original name.

Can I alter the sex of the characters I want to replace?
You can if you wish but we do not recommend doing this. This is because only instances of the name itself are substituted, not references to ‘he’ or ‘she’. If you were to substitute a male character with a female name, references to ‘he’, ‘his’ or ‘him’ would remain. This could make your Personalised Classic confusing.

How long does it take for me to receive my personalised novel?
These will be dispatched within 28 days from the date of registration. Occasionally, factors outside of Gift Republic’s control, may affect delivery times.
