18. ‘At Midnight, when all good folk
should be abed, the Night Post
rides forth to serve the dead.’
- Victorian Children’s Verse
Night Post is the story of the other mail service;
the one you haven’t heard of, the one that starts work at
midnight and delivers to all the creatures of the night.
Whether ghost or ghoul, witch or werewolf, or just
downright odd things with tentacles, they all have post
and someone has to deliver it.
Offering a fascinating glimpse into
a midnight world, Night Post is a
picture book for all ages.
