Classic-feeling storytelling with bags of charm. Fans of thrilling
animal adventure and enchanting underground worlds will fall in love
with Wishyouwas. It's 1952 in smog-shrouded London. Christmas might be
fast approaching, but with her mum away and Uncle Frank busy running
the post office, Penny Black is lonelier than ever. All that changes
when Penny discovers a small, fluffy, funny, springy and – most
importantly – talking creature in the post office one night, trying
to make off with a letter. But Wishyouwas is no thief. He's a Sorter,
and he soon introduces Penny to a fascinating secret world hidden in
the tunnels underneath the city's streets. Self-appointed guardians of
lost mail, the Sorters have dedicated their lives to rescuing letters
that have gone astray and making sure they get delivered to their
rightful owners. Penny is determined to protect the Sorters, but how
long will she be able to keep them safe with Stanley Scrawl, the
sinister Royal Mail Rat Catcher, on the prowl? Can Penny save the
Sorters and deliver a joyful Christmas? With beautiful black and white
illustrations and embellishments from the talented Penny Neville-Lee,
and an extra special surprise beneath the jacket, Wishyouwas is a
gorgeous hardback to gift and treasure.
