Book description
The post was an old thing, of course, but it was so old that it had
magically become new again.
The post office is an ailing institution belonging to the olden
days. New technology overshadows its mind-numbing bureaucracy and the
creakingly slow pace of change. You can call them nostalgic, but there
are still people who believe in the post: in the beauty of stamps and
cast-iron pillar boxes, and the dignity of the postman braving hail,
wind and troublesome dogs. And sometimes it's worth standing up for
what you believe in...
