Every letter contains a miniature story, and here are some of the
greatest. From Oscar Wilde's unconventional method of using the
mail to cycling enthusiast Reginald Bray's quest to post himself,
Simon Garfield uncovers a host of stories that capture the
enchantment of this irreplaceable art (with a supporting cast
including Pliny the Younger, Ted Hughes, Virginia Woolf, Napoleon
Bonaparte, Lewis Carroll, Jane Austen, David Foster Wallace and the
Little Red-Haired Girl). There is also a brief history of the
letter-writing guide, with instructions on when and when not to
send fish as a wedding gift. And as these accounts unfold, so does
the tale of a compelling wartime correspondence that shows how the
simplest of letters can change the course of a life.
