Give the unforgettable gift of a book in an entirely new way. Audiobook in a Card combines the joy of a greeting card with the magic of a full-length audiobook, making it the perfect present for book lovers, audiobook fans, and anyone searching for a unique literary gift. Each card comes with a plain kraft envelope and space inside to write a personal message - ready to pop in the post or hand-deliver as a meaningful gift. Easy to use: the recipient simply scans the QR code inside the card to enjoy the audiobook. About the book: In Adam Phillips’s view, there are two things that get in the way: memory and imagination. He explains that “we give up or give something up, when we believe we can no longer go on as we are. Yet truly moving on is difficult, because while one might give up on a specific ambition – like a banker who once wanted to become an astronaut – the memory of having had that ambition, of having once envisioned that alternative reality, typically remains”.
