'COME HOME AT ONCE' Peckham writer Guy Atkins at Rye Books this Thurs. 26th 7pm!

[ryebooksltd]

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
