Thursday 26th Feb.7.00pm at Rye Books

For more than a decade, Peckham writer Guy Atkins has collected postcard messages sent by the Edwardians. In 'Come Home at Once' - one of The Bookseller's magazines favourite books of 2014 - he shares the very best from his collection.

From the tantalising, to the hilarious, to the downright shocking, Guy's extraordinary cards shine a light on what was truly a postal phenomenon.

In his talk this Thursday at Rye Books, Guy will explain what made the Edwardian postcard such a sensation, how the Post Office came to be delivering a billion cards a year, and what it really meant to tilt your stamp...

Free event.

Coffee, tea, and cake and some delicious mulled cider will be available!

best wishes,

from all at Rye Books

- Half Moon Montessori Nursery: amazing! opposite Judith Kerr
  
  By Yorkie123 · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
