Contos por Carta brings the magic of storytelling to your mailbox! Each story unfolds through a series of letters, with each one revealing a new chapter of the adventure.
Once your package arrives, the adult places one letter at a time in the mailbox for the child to discover, creating the excitement of receiving a special letter addressed to them. You can decide how often to send a new letter, whether it's every day, once a week or whenever it suits your family.
The letters can be read together or enjoyed independently, depending on your child's age and reading ability. It's a magical way to bring stories to life, one letter at a time!
-
The letters are sent together in a single package, all at once. This allows the adult to manage how the letters are distributed. They can give them out weekly or at any other interval. Since we cannot guarantee that each letter will arrive at its destination within a specific timeframe, and to avoid letters getting lost in the mail, we believe it is best to send all the letters at once.

No. Contos por Carta is a collection of stories told through a series of letters, with each letter revealing a new chapter of the adventure.
There are several different stories to choose from, each with its own characters and adventures. Each story is delivered in a single package containing all its letters, so you can enjoy the story at your own pace, one letter at a time.
Contos por Carta is not a subscription, and there are no recurring deliveries.
-
Due to the personalisation required, the expected delivery time for Contos por Carta within Portugal is 7 working days for mainland Portugal and 9 working days for the islands.

Contos por Carta is an original and innovative way of telling stories.
The stories in As Aventuras de Augui are based on two books that have already been published: Augui e as Fadas da Magia and Augui e as Lágrimas Sem-fim.
However, in this chapter-by-chapter format, the themes and characters have been explored in greater depth. Because this format has no such restrictions, we were able to let our imaginations run wild and create more adventures, more characters and more mystery.
All the letters together form a book, although not a traditional one according to the conventional definition of a book, since the chapters are not bound together.
-
Contos por Carta brings stories to life through letters addressed directly to your child. Both the letter and the envelope bear their name, making each delivery feel personal and special.
With every letter, your child is invited further into the adventure, growing closer to the characters and the world of the story. It's a magical way to make reading feel like a real-life adventure, with a special letter waiting just for them!

Each story has its own recommended age range. Please check the individual story description for its specific age recommendation and to find the story that best suits your child. Younger children can also enjoy the stories when they are read aloud to them by an adult.
