It seems like the perfect time to embrace the lost art of letter writing.
This charming story is centered around the Jolly Postman who has to deliver mail for popular fairy-tale characters. His mail route includes the Three Bears, the Wicked Witch, the Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, the Big Bad Wolf and Goldilocks.
The letters he delivers are written by famous fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters such as Goldilocks, Peter Piper, and Mrs. Bunting. When characters open their mail, they find all kinds of things in their letters: an advertisement which will appeal to witches and other magic folk; a little book; a postcard, an “I’m sorry” letter, and much more.
