WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MARK HADDON In Postcard From The Past, Tom Jackson has gathered a collection of the funniest, weirdest and most moving real messages from the backs of old postcards. ‘Sublimely funny’ Jason Hazeley, author of the Ladybird Books for Grown Ups ‘My favourite Twitter account is now my favourite book. Irresistible!’ Jill Mansell ‘This book is an absolute treat’ Holly Walsh ‘Transfixing, beguiling, warmly haunting. These are the ghosts of a childhood’ Robin Ince ‘A hilarious and occasionally disturbing look at how the British remain resolutely small-minded wherever they go’ Charlie Higson ‘Six by four inch portions of pure heaven’ Rachel Johnson ‘Somehow both poignant and deeply creepy’ Samira Ahmed ‘One of Twitter’s most nourishing concepts – each one arriving like a bonsai Alan Bennett play’ Danny Baker ‘Beautiful. Inspiring. Educational. Hilarious’ Emma Freud ‘One of the saddest and funniest picture books you’re ever likely to read’ Owen Hatherley, author of The Ministry of Nostalgia ‘Hilarious, haunting, silly, poetic and profound’ Danny Wallace ‘A book of rare and genuine beauty’ James O’Brien, LBC
