Wishyouwas: The tiny guardian of lost letters

A modern classic with bags of charm. Fans of thrilling animal adventure and enchanting underground worlds will fall in love with Wishyouwas.

It’s 1952 in smoggy London and Penny Black is lonely. Then one night in her uncle’s post office she catches a small, furry, springy … something … making off with a letter. Wishyouwas is a Sorter, a guardian of lost mail. He shows Penny a secret world beneath the streets, where the Sorters devote their lives to saving missing letters and delivering them home.

But lurking in the shadows is Stanley Scrawl. Can Penny keep her new friend safe with the Royal Mail rat catcher on their tail?

The warm humour of The Wombles meets the edge-of-your seat peril of The Borrowers in a story for all seasons!

Featuring gorgeous black-and-white illustrations from Penny Neville-Lee
