The Jolly Postman

The Jolly Postman or Other People's Letters is an interactive children's picture book by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

[5] The Jolly Postman follows an unnamed mail carrier as he delivers letters by bicycle to characters from traditional children's stories that are well known in Britain.

WorldCat gives the entire description: "A Jolly Postman delivers letters to several famous fairy-tale characters such as the Big Bad Wolf, Cinderella, and the Three Bears.

From 1982 to 1999 the "Emil" figurines from Maschler publishers and BookTrust annually recognised the creator(s) of one "work of imagination for children, in which text and illustration are integrated so that each enhances and balances the other".

[5] The annual award by the Library Association then recognised the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject.
