The UK family life story book service

Your parents and grandparents
have stories they've never told you.

They speak. We shape it into chapters.

A whole life, before you were born. Adventures, heartbreaks, ordinary days that were quietly extraordinary. Before it's too late — let us capture every word.

The stories we never
think to ask for

"We always said we'd record their stories. Then one day we couldn't any more."

Most families mean to do it. Few ever do. Life gets busy, opportunities pass, and the stories — the real ones, the ones that made your family who it is — quietly disappear.

Life Story Book guides your loved one through a gentle, beautifully structured interview. Their words. Their memories. Their voice. We turn it all into a professionally printed book that will sit on your shelf for generations.

This is not a scrapbook. It is a proper book. Their story, told properly, printed beautifully, kept forever.

A grandmother shares her life story with her granddaughter

Three steps.
A lifetime of memories.

Speak your memories — receive a printed book
1

Speak your story

We send one chapter at a time — childhood, family, love, work, adventures. Your loved one records their answers on any phone, PC or tablet, at their own pace.

2

Add your photos

Each chapter has a photo prompt. Old family photos, travel snaps, wedding days. We place them throughout the book where they matter most.

3

You approve. We print and deliver.

You read every chapter before we print — nothing goes to press without your sign-off. Each book includes QR codes so readers can scan and hear the real voice behind each chapter. Beautifully bound. Delivered to your door.

Life Story Book — what's included

Stories that needed
to be told.

★★★★★
"We gave Mum the Heritage package for her 80th birthday. She'd never talked much about her childhood — but something about the questions unlocked stories none of us had ever heard. The finished book sat on her kitchen table for weeks. Every visitor picked it up."
Sarah Mitchell, Leeds
Heritage Edition — 3 copies
★★★★★
"My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year. We knew we had to act. The process was gentle enough for him to do in short bursts. Seeing his life told properly, in his own words, in a real book — I can't describe what that meant to all of us."
James Okafor, Bristol
Legacy Edition — 5 copies
★★★★★
"I bought the Memory edition for my nan's 75th. She said it was the first time anyone had ever asked her to just talk about herself. The QR codes are something else — you open a page and hear her actual voice. Genuinely moved me."
Philippa Clarke, Edinburgh
Memory Edition — 1 copy
