Fifteen years ago, long before anyone else had thought of tucking
actual letters and notes inside a book, Little, Brown published The
Jolly Postman by Allan and Janet Ahlberg. This wonderful book gave
children a chance to read letters sent from one fairy tale or
Mother Goose character to another. Among the funny notes was one
from Jack, who lolled on a sun-drenched island, thanking the Giant
for the gold that let him afford such a nifty vacation. All this
amusing correspondence was deftly illustrated and the book
attracted hordes of eager readers. The Jolly Postman and its
holiday sequel, The Jolly Christmas Postman, established themselves
as classics and have gone on to sell two million copies. Now we are
happy to republish the books in larger, more inviting formats than
the original but with no increase in price These new formats are a
reason to celebrate, for they will attract new generations to these
very inventive, very amusing books and should find a prominent
place on the shelves of libraries and bookstores this fall.
