A note on the Kindle edition: I read this on Kindle and will adapt the Goodreads review to suit that. Some of the letters were in their original format and not typed, which on the Kindle I found incredibly difficult to read. I felt like I was at an eye test.
The book, itself, is a fantastic idea and sounds like a labour of love. I think there were 128 different letters in this edition. These letters covered a huge range of history and some made me smile, some made me angry ad some had me close to tears. The opening letter from the Queen with the scone recipe made me chuckle. There are many letters for me to discuss but I simply don't have the time. If you're reading this review, pick up the book - you will be surprised by it.
