Promotional publication tied to the Royal Mail's Letterbox Tree of Life Project. It celebrates the art and thoughtfulness of letter-writing. The book explores 26 different aspects of sending messages, structured around the letters of the alphabet (A to Z). It includes discussions on what makes a message ordinary versus extraordinary, the deliberate process of choosing words, style, and recipient, plus an original A to Z of letters and a visual alphabet of images. Its purpose was to encourage reflection on communication, promote the value of personal letters in an everyday context (contrasting with casual messages like talking or smiling), and likely support a Royal Mail initiative or writing competition emphasising handwritten correspondence. It serves as an educational and inspirational keepsake highlighting the enduring power of thoughtful letter-writing.
