Letters to Anyone and Everyone
by Toon Tellegen
Age Range: 6-8
This charming and extraordinary collection of unusual stories by one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated writers Toon Tellegen, translated by Martin Cleaver and illustrated by Jessica Ahlberg, was first published in English in 2009. In this brand new stylish edition, the short stories in the form of 23 letters written by a whole host of animals, capture the imagination and transport the reader to the enchanting realms of make-believe.
Ant, Squirrel, Elephant, Snail, Bear, Mole and many others take up their pens to write to each other and to the world around them. Their letters are delivered by the wind, sometimes with amusing consequences. “Can I write a letter to a letter?” muses the squirrel, “or write to my table?” “Let’s write to the sun,” cried all the animals one cold winter’s day. The sparrow takes up the role of teacher and instructs his class to always be polite to each other and to begin their letter with “How are you?”
Tellegen ensures the voice of each animal is distinct and the dreams and musings are philosophical and gently humorous. Presented in a larger format than that of the original edition which has enhanced the exquisite pen and ink and watercolour illustrations of Jessica Ahlberg, these beautiful tales are sure to attract a brand new audience.
The Squirrel’s Birthday and Other Parties is another title available in the series.
