Our first public book, and the world's easiest way to record your stories.
As we enter the last stretch of 2021 (and what another year it’s been!), we thought we’d wriggle once more into your inbox.
We've worked on a lot of great projects this past year, but with the Christmas season upon us, we thought we'd highlight these two:
We released our first public book.
Yes, you read that right.
In 2018, Lorraine O'Connor commissioned us to work on the story of her great-grandfather, Joseph Salvatori. The book tells the incredible story of a migrant who:
Left Corsica for Venezuela in search of a better life, with no more than 35 francs to his name.
Fled to Trinidad in 1910 under gunfire and built a business empire that included the Caribbean's iconic Salvatori department store.
Went on to represent Caribbean involvement in WWII's Free French movement, which led to a personal relationship with General Charles de Gaulle.
The book is beautifully crafted, and you could (*wink*) order a copy just in time for Christmas. It ships anywhere in the world!

There could not be a more timely (and timeless) Christmas gift!
