The Jolly Postman (or other people’s letters) by Janet & Allan Ahlberg

A busy postman travels from house to house delivering mail to a host of familiar storybook characters. Letters, invitations, postcards and advertising flyers are among the correspondence contained within the book, each secreted in an envelope for readers to discover. In a modern age of email, this classic book pays homage to the postal service and recreates the joy of receiving mail. Inventive, unique and funny – the perfect ingredients of a classic.
