Book of the month
This is undoubtedly one of the most delightful and unique books we have ever come across... Inspired by the many misaddressed envelopes which still arrive at their intended destination, Harriet Russell set out to see how far Royal Mail could be engaged beyond the call of duty. She began sending letters to herself, concealing the address in both decorative, imaginative and enigmatic ways. Some required that the postman complete a crossword, join the dots, or follow a maze to decipher the address! The book is a collection of these wonderful envelopes which did reach her safely thanks to the playfulness and perseverance of many postal workers. It is simply a delight to flick through the pages and it makes for a wonderfully unique gift-book this Christmas.
