Of books and letters
Rechelle at My Sister's Farmhouse blog has a great post about epistolary books, that is, books that are written in a letter format. Check out today's post about Helene Hanff, and then go back and read a previous blog post she wrote about epistolary books. The topic is fascinating, and Rechelle is a great writer!

I just read the blog that you linked to. You're right she's a very good writer and the subject of epistolary books is quite interesting. I never knew there was a name for this style of book writing. I will have to read some of the titles she mentioned.
Thanks for sharing.
I read an "epistolary book" recently. It was hilarious. It's called "Ella Minnow Pea", and it's about a town that's trying to get by with less and less letters of the alphabet. Loved it.
Thank you for sharing the link. Your blog is most interesting and now I've found it I'll be sure to call again.
All the very best,
Simone
Thanks for the link. I love epostilory novels. Some good reading! I also love real letters in books. One of my favorite series is the letters and diaries of Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She writes some great stuff.
