The Little Mailman of Bayberry Lane is an adorable little hardcover children's book, written by Ian Munn and illustrated by Elizabeth Webb. This book was published in 1952 by Rand McNally & Company in Chicago.
The book is about the little chipmunk mailman of Bayberry Lane who delivers mail to all of the animals. He notices that Mrs. Pig always waits by her mailbox, but never receives any mail, which he thinks is very sad and lonely. He goes home and writes letters to all of the other animals to arrange a surprise party for Mrs. Pig so that she can make new friends, after which she starts happily sending and receiving mail every day.
I loved this story when I was a child. I wish I still had the well-worn book.
ReplyDeleteOh, me too!!! My mother would read it to me over and over again! If I am remembering correctly, wasn't this story in a book with several different stories? I remember a total of 4 stories in the large book. I can't believe I found the book here! Warms my heart.
