Letters from a Postman

Dearest Reader,

Every morning, in every weather, someone walks your street so that something reaches your door. You probably know their face. You might even know their name. But do you know their story?

Tom Dymond does. He's lived it.

After one Christmas on the job almost sends him packing, Tom embarks on a year of wondering and wandering through the streets of Bristol — sorting office carnage, scorching summers, freezing winters and the occasional biting dog included. Along the way he asks a question nobody has thought to ask before: what is a postie in the 21st century, and why has nobody ever found a word for a collection of them?

Is it a perambulation of posties? A pillar? A strike, more likely?

Letters from a Postman tucks you into the satchel and takes you on the rounds. It is funny, warm, quietly profound, and unlike anything else you'll read this year — a love letter to the millions of men and women who have carried billions of letters across hundreds of years, and never received one in return.

If you've ever watched your postie walk away and wondered about their life, this book was written for you.
