We recently received an email from an author who has published a children’s Christmas book: The Midnight Postman.
The author, M. Klayer, writes:
“I thought LASO members, and the newcomers your club helps into the hobby, might like to hear about a new Christmas book for their children and grandchildren. The author, M. Klayer, writes:
I’ve written a Christmas mystery for children aged 9 to 12 in which stamps and postmarks are the clues. The Midnight Postman is set in the Central Post Office of Strasbourg, France, in December 1958: eleven thousand letters to Santa are about to be pulped, yet every night someone answers them. The 48 exhibits of the case (envelopes, cancellations, a train timetable) are reproduced in the book, and one of its 12 puzzles turns on the old ‘language of stamps’.”
