I'm continuing my series with another one of MY books rather than Stanley's. He's a bit poorly and didn't want to participate this week. This book is a collection of decorated envelopes all of which have been sent through the UK royal mail system.
Harriet has a lovely take on communicating an address - mazes, join the dots, anagrams, illustrations, puns, puzzles, and literary word play.
Amazingly the majority of the envelopes arrived at their intended destinations, postmarks to prove it! I love the fact that the postal employees obviously rose to the challenge to work out and deliver these envelopes!
Fun little book. Her blog is pretty darn lovely too...
Wow! I can't believe! Employees of UK Royal Post Service must be too forbearing. This book seems really fun, and thanks for sahring the blog by the way...
ReplyDeleteHave a good day!
Ah I love this book too! I picked it up in the Glasgow School of Art gift shop last year and couldn't put it down! Hope Stanley feels better soon!
