MRS MERRYWEATHER'S LETTER

A picture book from the ever-popular Tales from Fern Hollow series of 17 stories, with detailed, bright and cheerful illustrations, for ages 3-93. Now back in print, this edition contains the same story and illustrations as the original version. When Mrs Merryweather posts a letter to Mrs Willowbank, and Mr Periwinkle, the Fern Hollow postman loses it, who knows where the letter will end up? This story will carry you and the letter all around the animal village. Mrs. Merryweather, who lived in Poppletown, had just finished writing a long letter to her friend in Fern Hollow. She signed the letter with a flourish of her quill pen. Your very dear friend, Matilda Merryweather. P.S. The weather here is wonderful - it is raining cats and dogs! Putting up her umbrella, the happy duck splashed her way along the street to the postbox. The raindrops made little bubbles in the puddles and the oil from the traffic made rainbow patterns in the streams which ran down the gutters. Mrs. Merryweather began to sing: "Quack, quack the rain pours down This is the weather for me. Let it patter and pour And drizzle galore, And a happy duck I shall be." "Off you go," she said, popping the letter into the box, and she waddled back home again. The charming and gently humorous Fern Hollow animal stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
