Product description

Discover the magical Christmas story that has delighted children for generations!

The Jolly Postman has a busy day ahead. It’s Christmas Eve in Fairy-Tale Land and there’s plenty of post for him to deliver!

There’s a card for Baby Bear, a get-well jigsaw for Humpty Dumpty and even something for Red Riding Hood. But, can he deliver it all before Christmas?

Little hands will love opening the envelopes to read the post in this magical story, full of festive, fairy tale surprises!

Allan has been delighting children of all ages for more than thirty years. Classic characters like Burglar Bill and The Jolly Postman have become firm favourites with a generation of children who are now reading them to their own offspring. Innovative, funny and moving, his work encompasses storybooks, picture books, easy readers, joke books and novels as well as poems.

Many of his books were collaborations with his wife, Janet, an illustrator, and they quickly became one of Britain’s leading author/illustrator teams.

Influenced by comics and cartoons, their perfect partnership went on to produce masterpieces including Peepo!, Each Peach Pear Plum and The Baby’s Catalogue.

Janet sadly died in 1994, but Allan has gone on to work with other illustrators and is still producing lots of new books.

    The jolly christmas postman

    This fantastic book has been shared and enjoyed for many years in our family! Our grownup children remember it from their childhood and a couple of years ago we got a new copy for our grandchild. We have recently bought another copy for our great nephew! We are so looking forward to seeing his delight when he looks inside.
    Five stars!!!
