From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
November 26 is the 330th day of the year (331st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 35 days remaining until the end of the year.

Happy Birthday! I hope you like this "Birthday Book". I got the idea from a blog post I read over a year ago. It's a themed collection of Wikipedia articles selected by me and printed by a charity called PediaPress. It is a bit random but (hopefully) also fun and interesting.

To start with, however, some random birthday quotations from Wikiquote...
