Letters of Note

This collection of letters was a joy to read. It is a simple premise. The author sourced and compiled a plethora of interesting letters from around the world. Some are heartbreaking, others are funny, a few are grim and dark, and others lift the spirits. I found it exciting to read a few each and every day. As the author notes, the letter is sort of an antique practice these days. While emails and texts push information forward quickly, there is nothing quite like receiving handwritten correspondence.

A big thank you to Helga for recommending this book for Non-Fiction November. It was an absolute blast to read, Mon Ami!

Amazing collection.

I don't know when I've had a better time browsing through a book. It's a collection of the most interesting letters ever written. It includes some classics (Little Virginia's letter to Santa Claus! A new poet's inquisitive letter to Rilke!) and some that were new-to-me, but, if you are like me, you won't skip over many. It's a must-read, folks!
